Façade met trappartij en pilasters 1772 - 1779

This architectural drawing, "Façade met trappartij en pilasters" (Facade with Staircase and Pilasters), was created by the French architect Jean Pelletier between 1772 and 1779. The detailed design illustrates a grand building with a central entrance, a flight of stairs, and a symmetrical arrangement of windows and pilasters. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Pelletier's mastery of architectural detail, reflecting the aesthetic trends of the Neoclassical period. The clear lines and precise measurements of the drawing provide insight into the architectural principles of the era and the meticulousness of Pelletier's design approach.
