label: Description
content: Perspective view of the ducal residence, possibly the Royal Palace, in Milan. The left side of the structure is cast in shadow, and a red, pointed tower protrudes from the central building. The windows of the palace are cut out, with fabric and thread visible through the openings. The three sides of the complex frame a courtyard at center, where four horse-drawn carriages form a rough square. Several groups of figures roam the rest of the courtyard, and a blue sky fills the top margin. Printed along borrom margin: Prospectus Propylaei Sedis Mediolanensis Ducis / Prospetto della entrata Residenza Ducale à Milano.
