Design for a palace arranged around a principal courtyard: longitudinal section through the vertical axis showing a section of the portico and internal courtyard

NOTES: Part of the Burlington Devonshire Collection, this theoretical drawing is one of a number made by John Webb or one of his assistants, possibly during the 1650s. The drawings have been associated with the intention on the part of Webb and Inigo Jones to compile a treatise, possibly with a view to engraving. This particular design was included in engraved form in William Kent's publication 'Designs of Inigo Jones, II' (1727).
