About this work

This is a flat drawing of a ceiling plan. It shows walls, hallways, and rooms arranged in a square. The walls are outlined in gold, with small circles and rectangles filled in with light colors like pink and blue. Some shapes have patterns inside, like flowers or swirls. The name "Rowfant" is written at the top, suggesting this is a real house. The drawing looks like it was made to plan how the ceiling would look. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more drawings like this.
