This sheet unites three allegorical figures: Nobility holding a crown in her right hand, Liberality dispensing coins, and a third figure at right. The female figures are portrayed di sotto in sù (from below), as often is the case in Tiepolo’s sketches made for fresco decorations. The same composition, with some variants, appears in another sheet by the artist now at the Morgan Library and Museum in New York (inv. IV,112; see Collection J. Pierpont Morgan. Drawings by the Old Masters Formed by C. Fairfax Murray, IV, London, 1912, no. 112).
