Summary

On top, the elevation. Part of the left half only is outlined. Bottom: the plan, scheme of a triumphal arch. A Palladian arch with two rows of three columns each, and with projecting central opening. Pentagonal walls are shown laterally. Thin fronts are to show statues in niches flanked by pilasters in the ground sections, reliefs in the upper sections. A balustrade with plants in pots is on top. From the roof rises a pedestal of soil, with a statue surrounded by trees. Measurements are inscribed.
