Architectural design for a park colonnade. The central part consists of four fluted columns of Doric order. Through the intercolumniation, view of a park; figures of a couple at right. Laterally are pilasters standing upon dados, sarcophagus-like. The sticks of tridents, shown between sea horses in the friezes, hang downwards. Below are lion masks from which water pours into basins in front of the dados. Above, the entablature; three steps in the central part and vases between.
