This page from a sketchbook, created between 1795 and 1805, showcases the meticulous work of Charles Percier, a prominent French architect and designer of the Neoclassical era. The page features a drawing of an architectural plan, likely for a building or interior, revealing Percier's meticulous attention to detail and his commitment to the principles of classical design. The scrapbook, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a fascinating glimpse into the creative process of one of the most influential figures of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
