Design for Garden Architecture 1650 - 1714

Sébastien Leclerc I's "Design for Garden Architecture" (1650-1714) is a pen and ink drawing that depicts a grand design for a garden structure, incorporating a central niche with an ornate crown. The design is filled with a variety of decorative elements, including a central figure seated on a pedestal surrounded by other figures. This elaborate and imaginative drawing is a testament to Leclerc's skill as an architectural draftsman, and reflects the popular interest in garden design during the 17th century.
