What particularly struck me about this, is that is by the spiral stairs. The first time I saw the VMS rosettes folio, I wondered whether the top-right rosette might represent a plant spiral (a hill with spiral terraces for the plants) or a spiral staircase. I even looked into the spiral staircase in the mansion at the Villa d'Este as a possible analog, but the Habspurg spiral fits better with other aspects.
