About this work

Oak porch decorated with ebony. The porch features a herm-Atlantean and a herm-caryatid on the posts. The lintel (the capital) is treated as a main entablature with a broken pediment. The entablature is divided by five consoles in the form of lion heads on leaf ornaments; the frieze has two horizontal ebony panels; the architrave and the molding below the pediment are richly decorated with ebony. The pediment features openwork ornament and a vase on a pedestal. Originating from a building at Oude Haven, 79 (?), in Zierikzee.
