A reproduction print of the Madonna by Filippo Lippi is housed in a gilt-toned tabernacle frame with twisted columns and a pediment. The lot also includes a framed monochrome engraving on paper featuring winged mythological figures. The lower margin of this engraving bears printed text reading Painted by H. Fuseli to the left and Engraved by M Haughton to the right. The final item is a large framed needlepoint tapestry depicting a dynamic interior scene with multiple figures in medieval-style costume.
