This detailed illustration, created in 1669, presents a complex geometrical problem, showing a step-by-step approach to drawing a line parallel to the wall AB from a given point. The image, held at the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Leclerc's mastery of technical drawing and his contribution to the field of architectural and engineering illustration. This work, with its meticulous detail and precise lines, would have appealed to both professionals and enthusiasts interested in geometry and perspective.
