This anonymous drawing, "Design for a Settee," from the 18th century depicts a detailed plan for a settee with intricate carvings.

The drawing provides a glimpse into the design process of furniture making and the craftsmanship of the time. It's likely that this drawing was meant to serve as a guide for a cabinetmaker, who would then create the actual settee.
