Description
Detail of a bas-relief buttress decorating a perfect arch. Angel dressed in a Greco-Roman toga, lying along the arch. He looks to the left with his head raised and holds a palm leaf in his bent right arm. His left arm, stretched out, is behind his lying body. His left hand holds a branch, consisting of a cluster of berries and an elongated fan-shaped foot. The arch is decorated by a strip whose pattern is made up of narrow undulations filled inside with a floral motif.
At the right-hand edge of the engraving, a detail of a Corinthian column is created in bas-relief, with the capital enriched with acanthus leaves in particular detail. At the top, the buttress ends with the longitudinal protrusions of the architrave and is only surmounted by the angel's head. At the left edge of the engraving, also in bas-relief, we can see half of the arch key, which appears in the shape of a medallion, adorned with arabesques. The bottom left corner is coloured with a quarter circle in light ochre.
