"Design for a Doric Porch, Plan and Elevation" is a 1750 - 1800 architectural drawing by Robert Adam, one of the most influential architects of the Neoclassical era. The drawing showcases Adam's mastery of classical design, specifically the Doric order, using precise lines and delicate shading to depict the architectural elements. This detailed plan and elevation provide a comprehensive blueprint of a grand entrance, featuring a recessed portico, a fanlight above the door, and a set of steps leading up to the structure. The drawing is a testament to Adam's meticulous attention to detail, showcasing his artistic vision and the enduring power of classical architecture.
