Corner of a Drawing Room is a 1752 crayon by Gabriel de Saint-Aubin, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a corner of a room with fancy stonework. Tall columns with curly tops line the walls. A doorway arches to the right, and a window with a small ledge sits above it. The lines are rough but show the shapes clearly. The artist used only black crayon on paper. The drawing looks quick, like a study for something bigger. Check out Baroque for more dramatic, detailed art like this.
