This detailed engraving by Georg Gottfried Winckler is from a series titled 'Unterschiedliche Neu Inventierte Altäre mit darzu gehörigen Profillen u. Grundrißen.'. It presents a side view and floorplan of an elaborate altar design. The intricate details of the columns, arches, and decorative elements reflect the Rococo style, prevalent in the mid-18th century. The inclusion of a scale bar underscores the practical aspect of this work as a design resource for architects and artisans. This engraving is a testament to Winckler's mastery of architectural illustration.
