This sketch shows two views of a building’s inside and outside. The top half is a front view of a small room with tall windows, arched tops, and a door in the middle. The bottom half is a floor plan labeled "Large Court" with a square shape, four windows on each side, and a "Grand Entrance" marked on one end. The notes are handwritten in pencil, including measurements and the date "Nov 1st 1776." The artist even jotted down ideas for details like "Herstmonceux Castle," suggesting they were designing a real place. If you like how drawings like this show both plans and notes, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more sketches like this.
