Rear elevation of a mausoleum in a wooded setting

early 19th century

- Prints DR1987:0064 - DR1987:0069 are probably for a mausoleum and include 3 elevations, 2 sections and 1 plan. The mausoleum is almost square in plan with a protruding semidomed apse and a portico "in antis" consisting of two Tuscan engaged pillars supporting a thick architrave which runs around the exterior of the mausoleum. The structure is raised on a podium and has a gabled roof perched high above the main structure, surmounted by a cupola crowned with an orb and cross. On the interior, the barrel vaulted nave is separated from the apse by a rood-like screen pierced by three doors and by a Corinthian colonnade. The chancel and apse areas are slightly raised and are accessed by a flight of stairs. A spiral staircase on the left side of the narthex provides access to the gallery, upper level, and cupola. A tomb monument or sarcophagus, composed of a rectangular masonry slab surmounted by a vertical slab decorated with a recumbent female figure, is located at the centre of the lateral wall of the nave under the fanlight.
