Boven- en onderkant van onderboezem c. 1866 - 1900

This is a pen-and-ink drawing by Charles Claesen that depicts a detailed architectural design for a fireplace, showcasing the upper and lower sections. The design features a decorative, ornately carved, stone or wood mantelpiece, complete with elaborate scrolls and a delicate grid-like pattern in the upper section. The work is likely from a series of architectural designs created between 1866 and 1900. Claesen's precise, meticulous style reveals a mastery of architectural detailing and a deep appreciation for the beauty of ornament. The drawing is a fine example of architectural drawing, a genre common in the late 19th century, and offers an insight into the tastes and design sensibilities of that era.
