The Chapel of the Infant Games, the second chapel on the left-hand side, was presumably designed to correspond with the Chapel of Isotta, since its piers are decorated with three tiers of playing children. But these children lack the surface modelling of the children in the chapel opposite, their movement and their fluent line. The contours are incised at right angles to the plane of the relief, and in many cases the heads are represented as perfect circles and other forms are reduced to their nearest geometrical equivalents.
