This 16th-century anonymous drawing, "Plan and Elevation for a Fountain," depicts the design of a fountain with a female figure standing atop a rectangular base. The drawing offers both an elevation view of the fountain and a plan view of its base, showcasing the detailed architectural design. This pen and ink drawing, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, exemplifies the meticulous planning and execution of architectural designs during the Renaissance.
