A design for a painted frieze with two pairs of nude wrestlers, possibly for the interior of a palace. In each pair, one of the men is acting as a telamon, supporting the cornice, while the other attacks him. Between the nudes is an empty rectangular panel intended for a fresco painting. Under it are fruit garlands and a coat of arms within a grotesque cartouche displaying a soldier standing holding a spear and a shield.
