This drawing shows a row of tall arches with red and blue details. Inside each arch, there are three small framed pictures: one empty, one with a draped figure, and one with a standing person. The top border has a repeating pattern of blue and gold shapes. The whole thing looks like a plan for a building’s interior wall. The text at the bottom says it’s a design for the Victoria and Albert Museum. The artist drew it to show how the space could look before it was built. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see if they used this design.
