13 173 DUCAL PALACE S. of C. is grossly inferior to the work behind - and strangest of all the head, no 7 being cracked through the nose and cheek; the eye on the inside is deep drilled in the eye ball, but the outside left eye - is smooth eyeballed or else filled up with a substance which hardly yields to the knife, but feels like stone, also the right cheek of this head is aell marked and felt - that on the left is comparatively rude and shallow and feebly scratched and the extremities of the curls of the hear are also much less complete in the turn, and less shaprly cut on the left side. Yet the cracked parts seen and correspond exactly. 1. A common bearded head; very coarsely cut 2. In coarse neck armour and ugly round helmet or cap 3 A bearded head with long pointed ears. 4 Hair on the forehead curled in spirals all aong, just like the moulding on the Apse of Murano. The nose sunk in between cheeks, and very ugly. 5th. A common head - blunt nosed and every way bad. 6th. Utterly different in conception from all the rest, It must I think be a portrait, it’s thin, thoughtful, full of dignity, pure Italian - It wears a cap with two winged lions thereon, and very small a d is thoroughly Dantesque and fine, though its chiselling same in manner as that of the others only more careful. 7. Bearded head, the cracked one. 8 a negro detestably ugly only better chiselled than those ofupper arcade.
