This detailed pen-and-ink drawing by Sir William Chambers, a prominent 18th-century architect, is a design for a chimneypiece. The drawing is a meticulous plan, featuring measurements and intricate details of the proposed design, highlighting Chambers's commitment to both functionality and aesthetic appeal in his architectural work. The drawing is a testament to the Neoclassical style, which dominated architectural and decorative arts during the period.
