label: Description
content: Below is the upper part of a doorframe. The drapery has above and below lambrequins and friezes near the upper edge. The doorframe is pointed in the middle; from there rises a kind of candelabrum with feathers below and on top. There is a suggestion to replace the candelabrum by a bottle-like vase from which the feathers on top rise. Overdrawn are architectural pen sketches, one of them with an arch; another is perhaps the plan of an alcove.
