Plan and Elevation of the Church of S. Iacoma is a 1619 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a church split into two views. The top half is a 3D-style sketch of walls, stairs, and a dome. The bottom half is a flat floor plan with a big circle in the middle and labeled rooms like "Sacrestia" (a storage room for church items). The artist used lines to show depth, almost like a puzzle with layers. The dome in the middle is a key part of the design. Next, look up etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how this technique works.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
