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 small, boxy church space with a cross on top. The front has a curved arch, two shelves, and a blank square panel in the middle. Above the arch, there’s a tiny dome with a winged figure inside it. The sides have tall, narrow windows with decorative carvings. This isn’t a painting—it’s a detailed blueprint for a Paris confession booth, drawn in 1688. The lines are precise, almost like a floor plan. Next, look up engraving to see how artists used sharp tools to create these crisp, detailed prints.
