Description

Within an ellipsoidal medallion with cut-off of the upper and lower parts, a coastal country landscape is depicted. In the center is a bay, while on land, in front of the bay, an oversized bird stands on stunted vegetation. On either side of the bay, houses have been painted in an orderly arrangement. The sky of the landscape is cloudy. The whole composition is symmetrical on a central vertical axis. On either side of the medal simple rococo floral motifs develop.
