This image appears to be a plan or schematic drawing for the walls and ceiling of the Arena Chapel in Padua. It shows a grid-like layout with various abstract shapes and symbols arranged in the individual cells. The shapes seem to represent different design elements or motifs, and there are annotations indicating "Virtues side (right)" as well as a general description of the drawing as "Plan of walls and ceiling - showing main movement and central focus in the individual compositions." The overall impression is of a detailed architectural or artistic plan, though the specific nature of the design is not immediately clear from the image alone.

The image shows a plan or layout drawing titled "ARENA CHAPEL, PADUA". It depicts walls and ceiling, showing main movement and counterflow focus in the interior composition of what appears to be a chapel or church building.
The drawing is divided into a grid, with each cell containing simplified sketches or symbols representing different scenes or elements. There are two larger circular diagrams near the bottom that seem to illustrate some kind of radial pattern or flow.
The overall style is a schematic architectural drawing done in pen or pencil on aged paper. The handwritten notes at the bottom provide more context, mentioning that this is a plan of walls and ceiling showing main movement and counterflow in the interior.

This is a sketch or planning diagram showing the layout of wall and ceiling paintings in the Arena Chapel in Padua, Italy. The image appears to be a study or documentation of the fresco cycle, with multiple small panels arranged in rows showing simplified figures and scenes. In the center are two large decorative starburst or cross-shaped patterns that appear to be ceiling designs.
The drawing is divided into several horizontal registers or bands, with smaller rectangular and arched frames containing quick gestural sketches of various scenes. At the bottom, it's labeled "Plan of walls and ceiling - showing main movements and centers of focus in the individual compositions" and identifies this as being from the "virtues side (right)" of the Arena Chapel.
The sketches are done in a loose, economical style using simple lines to indicate figures and architectural elements. This appears to be a study document or reference drawing, possibly used to understand or record the overall compositional layout of the chapel's decorated surfaces.
The Arena Chapel, also known as the Scrovegni Chapel, is famous for its fresco cycle completed in the early 14th century and is one of the most important masterpieces of Western art.
