"Elevation of the Interior of a Columbarium" is a detailed architectural drawing created by Pietro Paolo Coccetti between 1710 and 1727. The drawing depicts a columbarium, an ancient structure used as a burial place, featuring a series of arched niches for urns. Coccetti's meticulous detail and the inclusion of a scale bar make this drawing an important example of architectural documentation. The drawing's precision and focus on the structure's functionality are characteristic of the architectural style of the early 18th century. The work is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
