Untitled is a 1626 by Francesco Villamena, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This image is a print featuring an ornate frame with cherubs and a central shield. The frame is decorated with fruit and leaves, and the cherubs are positioned at each corner. The central shield has a zigzag pattern with stars. The print includes text in Italian, which appears to be a title or description of the image. The text is written in a formal font and is centered within the frame. The use of cherubs and ornate decoration suggests that this print is an example of Baroque art.

An etching print on paper titled *Untitled* by Francesco Villamena from 1626 features a Gothic frame adorned with four cupids and the heraldic arms of Cardinal Aldobrandini at the top. The title page introduces a set of twenty prints depicting scriptural subjects, derived from frescoes by Raphael in the Vatican’s Loggie, often called the 'Raphael Bible.' Published in Rome by Giovanni Battista de’ Rossi, the work serves as an engraved interpretation of Raphael’s designs.
