This page from a sketchbook, created between 1795 and 1805, showcases the architectural vision of renowned French architect Charles Percier. Featuring various sketches and prints, the page offers a glimpse into Percier's fascination with classical architecture. The meticulously drawn floor plans, elevations, and exterior views of buildings highlight his commitment to Neoclassical principles. Percier's architectural designs, particularly the "Recueil de decorations intérieures," influenced decorative and interior design in the early 19th century, making this scrapbook a valuable resource for understanding his influential aesthetic.
