This architectural drawing by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, a prominent 18th-century Italian artist, provides a detailed representation of the Doric order, a key element in classical architecture. The drawing showcases the various components of a Doric column and entablature, including the base, shaft, capital, and cornice. Piranesi’s meticulous approach to detail, evident in his precise lines and measured dimensions, reflects the Neoclassical movement’s fascination with ancient Roman architecture. This drawing, potentially a study for a larger architectural project, serves as a testament to the artist's dedication to capturing the nuances of classical design.
