This drawing shows a tall, blank wall with six identical columns and a fancy top edge. In the middle, there’s a fireplace with a detailed mantel—carved leaves and a small shelf above it. Below the fireplace, a door is outlined, and the floor has small, evenly spaced vents. The drawing looks like a plan for building something, not a real room. The lines are precise, and the scale at the top helps measure the size in feet. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more drawings like this.
