A group of panels depicting animals inset into a tabletop alongside a series of examples depicting grotesque figures, which are closely related to del Bianco's designs, is housed at the Chateau de Versailles and illustrated in Giusti's 'Pietra Dure: Hardstone in Furniture and Decorations', p.83. Giusti comments that depictions of animals in pietra dura at the time were simple, but in energetic and spirited poses, making use of soft stones in very similar palettes to the present examples.In many of the panels offered, pale blue agate and translucent alabaster have been used to form the sky peppered with beautiful soft clouds.
