Ontwerp voor een ingangspoort met twee beelden 1677 - 1755

This architectural drawing by Elias van Nijmegen, dated between 1677 and 1755, depicts a design for a monumental entrance gate. The central feature is a pair of doors framed by classical columns and surmounted by a decorative pediment adorned with sculpted figures. Two statues flanking the entrance further accentuate the grand scale and symmetrical composition. The design incorporates elements of Baroque architecture, reflecting a shift towards ornate ornamentation and grandeur prevalent in 17th and 18th century European design. The drawing is a testament to van Nijmegen's skill in architectural design and his mastery of the draughtsman's craft.
