[M.172L] [M.172] Ducal palace S of C 172
rose with leaves overlaid in succession. fig 2 p 32 real size
Compare this with Can Grande at Verona 3. a woman in turban with the bandage under chin of early dress
stroking a puppy which she holds by the haunches.
4. A man with a (parrot?) the bird’s head gone, its tail fig 1
(1 p 33)
5. A woman in excessively rich costume, with braided hair and
sharp multitudinously folded dress, covered with beads or pearls:
holding a (rosary?) in left hand, and with right on her heart
6. The figure whose head is sketched at p 33 l I can’t
understand the folded ornament projecting from cap.
7. A lady with crown, strangely set with bunch or brush shaped
ornaments [diagram] and with the beautiful rose, fig 1 p 34
Both these last figures lay their hands on the leaves out of which
they rise most beautifully: and the 7 especially lays her hand
right over the edge, and underneath, most sweetly, as if lifting
a veil.
8. A boy with ball in left hand, right on breast. Very heavy
and bad. No inscriptions to this 15th capital
The 16th: A most puzzling capital. It has heads, of most
various workmanship - half of it has been split by the iron, and
ill readjusted. and the gap filled with cement, which is rudely
moulded into a continuation of the figures: {in lines of hair &c.} What is most
strange; the workmanship of the detached half in the front
