label: Description
content: At left: the left side of the elevation of a fountain in a park. A dado zone is on a lower level. Water is intended to pour from holes in three niches and from jars which two figures hold in their hands standing in front of the intervals. upon the flanked pilasters stand small fountains on the upper level. In its center is a fountain, the upper basin of which is carried by seated Atlantes. A semicircular lattice collonade and trees are in the background. A detail view of the central fountain is above at right. Below at right is a very rough pen sketch of the left half of the elevation of another founrtain upon two levels. Arcades with statues are in the center of the lower level, a pavillion in that of the upper level.
