An ornate, painted ceiling is depicted, featuring elaborate Baroque-style trompe l'oeil fresco work. The central element is a large, oval medallion set against a pale green background, showcasing a complex coat of arms. This heraldic emblem includes an angelic figure holding a cross and a miter, positioned above a shield divided into two main sections: one displaying a cityscape or fortified buildings, and the other a rampant lion. A dove is depicted below the shield. The entire coat of arms is surrounded by intricate scrollwork. The oval medallion is framed by further decorative moldings and is set within a reddish-brown field. Surrounding this central area, the ceiling features painted architectural elements, including arches, cornices, and volutes, rendered in shades of cream, grey, yellow, and green, creating the illusion of three-dimensional stucco and carved relief. These elements are adorned with crowns, wreaths, and additional scroll and foliate motifs. This ceiling is located in the Sacristy of the Church of São Roque (Igreja de São Roque) in Lisbon, Portugal. The coat of arms belongs to D. Tomás de Almeida, the first Patriarch of Lisbon.
