Page from a Scrapbook containing Drawings and Several Prints of Architecture, Interiors, Furniture and Other Objects 1795 - 1805

This page from a sketchbook, created by Charles Percier between 1795 and 1805, showcases the artist's architectural designs. The page, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, features two meticulously drawn floor plans, likely for grand houses or public buildings, revealing Percier's architectural vision and meticulous approach to planning. Percier, a prominent French architect and designer, is known for his neoclassical style, which is evident in the intricate details and symmetrical compositions of these plans. These sketches serve as a fascinating glimpse into Percier's creative process and his influence on the development of early 19th-century architecture.
