This anonymous architectural drawing from the late 19th century is a detailed design for a Gothic wall, showcasing intricate ornamentation. The design includes a door, fireplace, and elaborate detailing throughout. The intricate patterns and pointed arches are hallmarks of the Gothic Revival style popular during this period. The design's emphasis on verticality, pointed arches, and ornate details evokes a sense of grandeur and spirituality. The drawing would have been used by builders and craftsmen to execute the design in a real building. It is now a part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
