This intricate drawing by celebrated English architect James Wyatt is a design for the dining room ceiling at Kelmarsh Hall, Northamptonshire. Dated between 1765 and 1775, the design features an elaborate geometric pattern, with a central medallion surrounded by a radiating pattern of small circles and an intricate border. The meticulous detail of the design speaks to Wyatt's mastery of the neoclassical style popular in the 18th century.
