Ruskin makes the point at Works, 11.433 that the west entrance of the church of Santo Stefano is only a little before the Porta della Carta, and so shows evidence of decline.

Plate XV of Willis (1835) (above) shows the door of Santo Stefano, cited by Willis at page 119 as an example of a late Gothic door where the ‘distinction of orders is lost’. The page is referred to by Ruskin at Notebook M p.125.
For a modern photograph of the door see under Santo Stefano here, and in its context on the West Front of Santo Stefano see here.
