This is a page from a sketchbook created by Charles Percier, a prominent French architect and designer. It contains drawings of various furniture designs, architectural details, and interior elements. The drawings showcase Percier's keen eye for detail and his mastery of the Neoclassical style, a prominent artistic movement in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This sketchbook, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, offers a glimpse into Percier's creative process and his contribution to the decorative arts of his time.
