This anonymous drawing from the 17th century, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a design for a temporary structure built to celebrate the birth of the Duc de Bourgogne. A Baroque design featuring a monumental column draped in fabric and surmounted by a figure holding a scepter, this drawing illustrates the grandeur of French court celebrations and the complex artistry of temporary structures. The drawing is likely a preparatory sketch for an architectural project.
