These could have been designs for paintings to be inserted in the boiserie of a room decoration, or possibly, on a different scale, for printed cartouches. One of the pair of compositions in drawn lunettes shows a putto representing Apollo inspiring the arts; the group of four show putti with various attributes of science, architecture, sculpture and music.
