This anonymous drawing from the 15th century is a sheet of studies for architectural ornamentation. It includes a variety of motifs, such as a classical urn, a lion, and several figures with wings. The sheet is likely a study for a larger architectural project, which would have included these elements. This work is representative of the Renaissance interest in classical art and architecture. It is currently held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
