Project for a painting Ceiling 1700 - 1780

This red chalk drawing, created by an anonymous artist between 1700 and 1780, is a design for a ceiling. It features intricate architectural details like columns, arches, and decorative moldings, typical of the Rococo style popular in the 18th century. The delicate lines and graceful curves of the design suggest a grand and ornate ceiling meant to impress viewers with its elegance and sophistication. The drawing is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
