Plan et elevation des plus beaux confessionnaux de Paris, tres fidelemant mesure is a 1688 ink by Jean Le Blond, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a fancy church screen called a confessional. It has tall columns, a peaked top with a cross, and swirly designs in the middle. The center panel looks like metalwork with flowers and a sunburst shape. The sides have curved brackets holding it up. This is a detailed plan for a Paris church. The artist drew it to show how it should look from the front and side. The lines are sharp and precise. Check out how this was made using engraving.
