by GRASSI, Giovannino de', Manuscript (Ms. VII. 14), 260 x 185 mm
At the top, a pack of hunting dogs viciously attacks a wild boar which itself seems to have mortally wounded a hound whose muzzle is thrown back in agony at the top of the group. On the lower half of the page, in contrast, a leopard set in a garden and chained to a radiant circle is a heraldic design and therefore much calmer and more stylised.
