[PB.3L] [PB.3]
[blank] [Doges Palace] 3
The first window
Camera di Studio.
I have looked again at its capitals
to compare them with the rest - its central
one is of red marble ( - as well as the
bays of its central shafts) and first rate
in its bricking. and its lateral ones are
also very good in style and apparently
of same period - but far inferior in
cutting - they puzzle me sadly -
They have no heads. and . on the whole
are the finest capitals / except those of the
4th window of the upper series.
-Half of this central capital also split
away by the iron & the other half painted
grey where the window frame was fitted
Observe the cutting of the bad capitals here is
not worse than & very like that, of the 3rd from
the angle of the Porta: my bird one.
Even the noble [Justice?] Capital
is hardly so smooth & fine in leaf cutting
as this central one.
The bird capital towards sea approaches
it nearest
