This could be one of many depictions of the story of Angelica and Medoro, told by Ariosto in Orlando Furioso, which tells of the love between the Christian maiden and the Saracen knave who was wounded in a clash, who then fled together to Catai, thus triggering Orlando's madness.The work is presented in a frame. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no

however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
