Study for Detail of the Piazza delle Erbe, Verona

Study for Detail of the Piazza delle Erbe, Verona. The drawing shows the Piazza delle Erbe in Verona, looking along the square to the north-west. Two houses with frescoed facades (nos 21-3 and 27) can be seen on the left, as well as the late-medieval Torre del Gardello. At the end of the piazza is the baroque Palazzo Maffei, and immediately to its right the frescoed facade of the Case Mazzanti. Umbrellas shade a few market stalls to the left of the square; in front of the Palazzo Maffei is the Corinthian Colonna di San Marco (its statue of Saint Mark already removed); to the right is the Fontana di Madonna Verona; the canopy supported by four columns is the Berlina.
