This page from Charles Percier's architectural sketchbook, dating back to between 1795 and 1805, showcases his meticulous attention to detail in the design of grand structures. Featuring intricate floor plans and elevations, the artwork offers a glimpse into Percier's creative process and his fascination with classical architecture. The sketches, though simple, reveal a sophisticated understanding of form and function, highlighting Percier's mastery of the Neoclassical style that was popular in France during this period. This page is a testament to Percier's innovative and influential role in shaping the architectural landscape of the early 19th century.
