Page from a Scrapbook containing Drawings and Several Prints of Architecture, Interiors, Furniture and Other Objects 1795 - 1805

This page from a scrapbook by Charles Percier, a prominent French architect and designer, showcases his architectural sketches. The page contains a detailed plan of an oval-shaped room with a raised stage at one end. Percier's interest in classical architecture is evident in the design, reflecting the Neoclassical style popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This sketchbook, now held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a glimpse into Percier's creative process and showcases his meticulous attention to detail. The artwork is a testament to the enduring influence of Neoclassicism and its enduring appeal to those interested in architectural design.
