This detailed architectural drawing by Emmanuel Héré de Corny, titled *Recueil Des Plans, Élévations et Coupes Tant Géométrales qu'en Perspective Des Châteaux, Jardins, et Dépendances, Que Le Roy De Pologne Occupe en Lorraine...*, depicts a cross-section of a pavilion or kiosk. The drawing, dated 1753, showcases the intricate details of the pavilion, including its roof, columns, and windows. This type of architectural drawing is known as a "plan" or "elevation" and was a common practice in the 18th century, as architects used these plans to visualize their designs. The pavilion itself is an example of the Rococo style, with its ornate ornamentation and whimsical design. This drawing is a valuable artifact, providing insight into the architectural trends of the 18th century and showcasing the work of a prominent architect of the era.
