This anonymous drawing from the 17th century is a detailed design for a chapel doorway. The design features a grand archway framed by two sets of fluted columns, with a decorative entablature above. An inscription, barely visible in the drawing, is included on the entablature, likely referencing the chapel or its owner. This drawing is a valuable example of the architectural style of the period, showcasing the emphasis on classical motifs and intricate ornamentation that characterized the time. The work is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
