Collection of Various Caprices and New Designs of Cartouches and Ornaments: No 13 is a 1646 by Stefano Della Bella, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a wild mix of swirling clouds and animals. A ram with big horns stands in the center, surrounded by smaller creatures like goats and birds. The whole scene looks like it’s floating in a stormy sky. The artist packed lots of movement into a small space. The lines are sharp and busy, making everything feel alive.
