About this work

This drawing shows a detailed design for a decorative screen. At the top is a round medallion with a face inside, surrounded by ornate patterns. Below it are swirling leaf shapes, circles, and more intricate lines. On the right side, two small columns with fancy tops are drawn. The drawing is labeled with letters to mark different parts like "DADO PANEL" and "DETAILS OF SHAFTS." It looks like a plan for how a real screen would be carved or built. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this drawing in person.
