Profile medallions of Federigo and Guidobaldo, wrought in the lowest possible relief, adorn the staircases.
As to the wings, it were better to say nothing about them. What was to be thought of the Saint Ursula with a prominent forehead like a cupping-glass and a burly stomach, surrounded by other creatures as shapeless as herself, their squab noses poking out of the bladders of lard that did duty for their faces? And Durtal found the same impression of insensibility to mysticism in the picture gallery.
