This anonymous design, dated between 1700-1780, presents a detailed architectural sketch for an altar. Featuring a central figure of an angel and a prominent decorative element with a dome and cherubs, the design is an example of the intricate ornamentation typical of Baroque-influenced altar design. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, holds this elegant design which is also significant for its study of architectural perspective.
