This etching by French artist Jean Le Pautre, dating back to the 17th century, showcases two different door designs. The first, "Porte du Cabinet de Monseigneur a Versailles," features an elaborate frame adorned with decorative molding and a garland, indicative of the French Baroque style. The second, "Porte de Chambre albôtel de Cavois a Baria," displays a simpler, yet elegant, design. These engravings provide a glimpse into the artistry and craftsmanship of interior design during the French Baroque era.
