This drawing shows a fancy wooden box with three glass doors. The top has a cross and some carvings. The sides have curved details and small circles. Inside, the doors look empty but are framed neatly. The artist drew it like a blueprint. It’s from a book of Paris confessionals. The lines are precise, almost like a sketch for a builder. Check out how this uses engraving.
