d a fine smooth one of
trimly cut white stone substituted, while I was painting the rest
of the tomb, against time. Hence the unfinished condition of my
sketch the last that can ever be taken of the tomb as it was built.

(16.) _The Castelbarco Tomb, seen laterally._ (B.)

A most careful drawing, leaving little to be desired in realization
of the subject. It is taken so near the tomb as to make the
perspective awkward, but I liked this quaint view better than more
distant ones.

The drawing of the archway, and of the dark gray and red masonry of
the tomb is very beautiful.

247. (17.) _Lion with Hind in its Claws._ (A.)

The support of the sarcophagus, under the feet of the recumbent
figure in the Castelbarco Tomb.

(18.) _Lion with Dragon in its claws._ (A.)

The support of the sarcophagus at the head of the figure.

(19.) _St. Luke._ (A.)

Sculpture of one of the four small panels at the angles of the
sarcophagus in the Castelbarco Tomb. I engraved the St. Mark for
the illustration of noble grotesque in the "Stones of Venice." But
this drawing more perfectly renders the stern touch of the old
sculptor.

(20.) _Two of the Spurs of the bases of the Nave Pillars in the Church
of St. Anastasia._ (A.)

Of the real size. Not generally seen in the darkness of the Church,
and very fine in their rough way.

248. (21.) _Tomb of Can Grande, general view._ (R.)

Put together some time since, from Photograph and Sketches taken in
the year 1852; and inaccurate, but useful in giving a general idea.

(22.) _Tomb of Can Grande._ (R.)

Sketch made carefully on the spot last year. The sarcophagus
unfinished; the details of it would not go into so small a space.

(23.) _The Sarcophagus and recumbent Statue of Can Grande, drawn
separately._ (R.)

Sketched on the spot last year. Almost a faultless type of powerful
and solemn Gothic sculpture. (Can Grande died in 1329.)

(24.) _The Two Dogs._ (R.)

The kneeling Madonna and sculpture of right hand upper panel of the
Sarcophagus of Can Grande.

The drawing of the panel is of real size, representing the Knight
at the Battle of Vicenza.

(25.) _The Cornice of the Sarcophagus of Can Grande._ (A.)

Of its real size, admirably drawn, and quite showing the softness
and Correggio-like touch of its leafage, a
