About this work

This is a precise architectural drawing by Sir William Chambers. It shows a doorway’s measured elevation, with details like a winged angel’s head above the door and a bracket drawn in brown ink. The verso side has a profile of the cornice and a section of the doorway’s side. Chambers used brown ink for the left bracket and sculpture, and for the cornice profile on the back. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
