"Twee boekenkasten met leeuwenkoppen" (Two Bookcases with Lion Heads) is an architectural drawing by Nicolas Dupin, a French artist who lived during the late 18th century. This print, dating between 1772 and 1779, is a detailed plan of two bookcases. The drawing showcases Dupin's interest in Neoclassical design, evident in the symmetrical forms, simple lines, and ornamentation. The presence of lion heads on the bookcases further highlights the inspiration from classical architecture. This intricate and precise drawing, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a valuable historical document and a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the period.
