The top section is adorned with red curtains drawn back to reveal a painted scene of a person in classical attire, seated with a baby. Below is another smaller empty stage area framed by columns. The drawing includes labels, scale indications, and a circular design marked "P. & D. Detail." The right side depicts a side view of the arch's structural elements.
