About this work

The painting is called Three Views and a Plan of a Triangular Parish Church. It's from around 1750 and made with pen and ink on paper. The artist, Pierre Varin, likely drew this for architectural purposes, and it's interesting because it shows multiple views of the same building, which was a common practice at the time.
