This 18th-century anonymous drawing, titled "Design for a Theatre," is a detailed floor plan of a theater, likely in Bordeaux, France. The plan displays a central stage area with a horseshoe-shaped seating arrangement. The drawing is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection and offers a glimpse into the architectural design and layout of theaters during the 18th century. The piece is a valuable resource for understanding the evolution of theater architecture and its connection to the performance spaces of the period.
