Schoorsteenmantel met een reliëf van Venus die Adonis beweent, met daaronder een plattegrond c. 1790 - 1810

This architectural drawing by Lorenzo Cardelli, dating from the late 18th century, depicts a design for a fireplace mantel. The detailed design incorporates classical elements like columns and a frieze depicting a scene from the myth of Venus and Adonis, signifying the artist's adherence to the neoclassical style popular during this period. The drawing's meticulous detail and clear lines would have served as a guide for artisans creating such mantels, demonstrating the importance of architectural drawings in design and construction.
