This page from a sketchbook, dating to 1795–1805, showcases the architectural genius of Charles Percier, a prominent French architect and designer. The page is filled with intricate sketches and prints, offering a glimpse into Percier's creative process. From detailed floor plans to elevations of buildings, the artwork captures his vision for grand and elegant interiors, furniture, and other architectural elements. The meticulous linework and meticulous attention to detail reveal Percier's mastery of Neoclassical design principles. This piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, remains a valuable testament to Percier's influence on the artistic landscape of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
