description

Summary

The door case has laterally fluted pillars, tapered towards the base. Above the entablature are capitals with a mask in front, supporting the oblique cornices of a triangular pediment. In the center is a lunette with a railing, including a star. A man walks at left towards the door, in which another awaits him, with his dog standing beside him. Behind him are a boy, a man, two women, a dog, and a tree.
