Two medallions on either side of the caption and their surrounding text concern the Line of Beauty. Three more columns of text between the medallions include quotes in Latin from Tactius and Maximus of Tyre, with an English translation

In this state the horse on the extreme right is black (white in the earlier state), the boy's slate trailing on the ground was only half shaded in the earlier state, but is now darkened
