label: Description
content: Vertical sheet consisting of three main sketches, all elements of ironwork at the monastery of San Marco. Above is a gate rendered in detail only from above and at upper right. The gate is made up of long vertical members that have scroll ornament and terminate in a leaf-like end. The upper section of the gate has three large connected scrolls. This sketch is scaled. To the right of this drawing is a sketch of the bolt that presumably locks the gate. At bottom right is a drawing of a window screen or grille also made of iron. Its members intersect to form a screen, while the vertical members protrude past the top of the screen and alternate ending in a leaf or fleur-de-lys. This drawing is also scaled. At bottom left is the top of a gate with a pod-shaped element with lobes around its sides, and it is topped by a spiky crown. To the right of it are smaller ironwork details.
