Portion of a drawing showing the right half of an arched entrance to a staircase

1635

- This drawing is inscribed with the date "163[5]". A sketch elevation of a doorway, apparently a record drawing, inscribed "Roma" appear on the verso of this sheet. This evidence, along with DR1981:0017:040 R, a sketch elevation of a portal inscribed "Roma 1635", suggest a similar location and date for the present subject.
