- A variation of the scheme of -1662. In the center of the door folding is a lozenge with the figure of a standing woman, causing a correlated shape of the upper and lower panels. They are decorated with floral candelabra. The panel of the overdoor is divided into a central lozenge, with two goddesses upon clouds and four triangles with a palmette. The cornices of the entablature are supported by two consoles. In front of the entablature, in the center, is a shell with a head, framed above by a garland, the ends of which are supported by bowknots. Usual background.
