About this work

This drawing shows a ceiling with fancy patterns. There are squares and circles filled with gold, blue, and white. Some squares have pictures of animals or people. The edges have swirls and dots. It looks like a room with no walls—just the ceiling and floor plan below. The blue squares might be windows or mirrors. The gold frames look like they’re made of wood or metal. It’s all very neat and precise. If you like this style, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art for more.
