label: Description
content: Vertical sheet illustrating two sketches of architectural details. At left, a section of a masonry building façade that is heavily decorated with scrolling ornament. There are two windows with triangular pediments, and the top of the façade projects upward to a pedestal upon which stands the sculpture of a figure. At right is a very simple tower surmounted by an onion dome with a smooth surface only interrupted by a small chimney stack. Without interruption, the top of the dome becomes an octagonal steeple with tall finial and decorative banner or weathervane at its top.
