This is the title page of a sketchbook created by French architect Charles Percier between 1795 and 1805, now located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The sketchbook contains drawings and prints of architecture, interiors, furniture and objects, which were likely to be inspirations for Percier's work. The page is simple, with the title "Figures et Ornements" written in elegant script. The title page, though seemingly blank, reveals insights into Percier's creative process, showcasing his keen eye for detail and his interest in design. The sketchbook, with its detailed illustrations, serves as a window into the world of French architecture and interior design during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
