[diagram] No 77 Ducal Palace. Windows to Piazzetta p.101
above this window i, or rather between it and
these two small windows have both had traceries now
removed: I cannot tell if central shaft or not.
The outermost one, next the sea, has its seaward
or south side capital boldly projecting; and well worked
in leafage, evidently of the time of windows d e and f.
with a head similarly rude: all adapted for a tracery
sub shaft - now torn away: But on the other side
this window has a pilaster capital - run flat back
along jamb - vilely cut - the notched -broken edged
leaves again - as described in window i, no 76.
and while the seaward jamb is smooth & polished where
not decomposed, the inward jamb is all rough chiselled
and granulated on the rolls, like the window i.
The bases - if there were any - are entirely gone, replaced
by new plinth: The section with flanked dentil - all
the same as windows below.
The Innermost of these two small windows, next the
centre ofpiazzetta facade has both its old capitals
left - so much of them unbroken that - on the inward
side, the circle of which received the shaft of for the
tracery - shaft up the jamb - remains quite perfect,
and on it, I traced the curve fig1 No 77.
