Notes

The sheet is numbered 6 in red pen at the top left-hand corner and appears to have been detached from a bound volume. The elevation of the gallery ballusters differs from those depicted elsewhere (see SM P281), as this study depicts master ballusters treated as candelarbra shafts, set alongside much simpler ballusters.
