This drawing shows two staircases inside a building. One is a wide, curved staircase with ornate railings, and the other is a straight flight leading to a small landing with a detailed balcony. The walls are plain, and the focus is on the precise lines of the steps and railings. The artist labeled it as St. Paul’s Cathedral, so this is likely a study of its interior design. The drawing uses careful lines to show depth and structure, almost like a blueprint. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more architectural drawings like this.
