Towards noon Coello called Ulrich into Moor 's former studio ; the youth could not fail to observe its altered appearance . Long cartoons , containing sketches of figures , large paintings , just commenced or half-finished , leaned against the easels ; mannikins , movable wooden horse 's heads , and plaster-models stood on the floor , the tables , and in the windows . Stuffs , garments , tapestries , weapons hung over the backs of the chairs , or lay on chests , tables and the stone-floor . Withered laurel-wreaths , tied with long ribbons , fluttered over the mantel-piece ; one had fallen , dropped over the bald head of Julius Caesar , and rested on the breast .
