them. Their tails join in a trefoil from which spring two principal scrolls
of foliage 1. and r. ; from a calyx between these springs the body of a
winged siren. Signed -if- on the trefoil in the centre. Single border-
line.
[202 x 141] • Late impression with the publisher’s address, Ant. Sal. ex. (Bartsch’s
ii). The number 3 is engraved in the lower r. corner, and in two places on the
lower margin is the number 4 (the figure on the r. being half erased).
Collection: Durazzo.
Purchased 1873. 8. 9. 760.
Another impression is placed with Agostino Veneziano.
This plate and the following belong to a series of twenty ornament-panels,
seventeen of which bear the initials of Agostino Veneziano (A.V.). The only
unsigned plate (B. 571) is also more probably by Agostino than by Francia.
The complete series in the later state with the address of Salamanca is in the
B. M., and among the early states there are also impressions of B. 565, 568,
570, 571. Both the impressions of the two present examples signed • i • f • are
in the second state. In the earlier state the numbering was different (as is
indicated on the present example by the presence of two different numerals).
See introductory note on the question whether this Roman ■ i • f ■ is the Bolognese
Jacopo Francia. The design is undoubtedly from the grotesques of Raphael or
one of his immediate assistants such as Giovanni da Udine.

13. PANEL OF ORNAMENT. B. xiv. 399, 576.—P. v. 225, 18.
Below, two grotesque scrolls symmetrically placed,each partly consisting
of a human mask and each perched on by a cock, terminate towards the
centre in the bodies of two youths who hold up a platform or large tray,
on which stand models of two round temples with an altar and a vase of
fire between them. A drapery is sestooned along the top. Signed • i • f •
on the face os the altar. Single border-line.

and the figures 13 in the lower r. corner.
Collection : Durazzo.
Purchased 1873. 8. 9. 772.
Another impression is placed with Agostino Veneziano.
