This anonymous drawing from the 18th or 19th century depicts two preliminary designs for large fountains. The drawing features a detailed outline of each fountain, including multiple tiers and decorative embellishments. The artist's focus on the structure and form of these fountains suggests they were intended for a public space or a grand garden, highlighting the importance of water features in 18th and 19th-century urban design. The simple pen and ink medium of this drawing emphasizes the clarity of the design concepts, making this a fascinating piece for architectural historians and design enthusiasts alike.
