Livre de Tables is a 1702 ink by Pierre Lepautre, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a fancy fireplace setup with ornate details. The top shelf holds a row of decorative vases, pitchers, and cups—each with twisted handles and swirling designs. Below, the mantel is carved with scrolls, leaves, and small figures, while the legs of the fireplace frame twist into elaborate shapes. The artist focused on every tiny curve, making everything look rich and detailed. This style was popular in the 1600s and 1700s.
