Note 123 — Chapter II · THE PAVEMENT
Reading edition
The large original cartoons, preserved by the Spannoechi family up to August 31st, 1801, were at that date generously presented by them to the Picture Gallery of the Accademia delle Belle Arti in Siena, where they may still be seen. They have suffered sadly from time and damp, but they show the artist’s skill as a draughtsman far better than the reproductions on the Pavement, as it now exists.
