Description
Despite the different, more classicising architectural vocabulary in this design – Corinthian capitals, obelisk and ball elements above the cornice and roundels within square panels below– this is the same draughtsman at work. The faces of the emperors within the carved roundels have the same elongated noses as the faces in the previous two drawings and are similar to the faces in the fresco roundels on the east portico.
