<p>Turner used this ground plan of a classical stoa or portico to show the vantage point, indicated by the word ‘eye’ at the bottom, used for the next two diagrams (shown to the right). A comparison of the drawings allowed him to illustrate how some free-standing columns (circles) and attached columns (squares) are obscured in a side elevation of the building.</p><p><em>Gallery label, September 2004</em></p>
