It shows the structure of a room with measurements, such as "p. 5. o.10," which likely indicate the width of the room. The drawing is a simple and elegant depiction of a room with clear lines and minimal detail, giving insight into the architectural style of the period. The plan provides information about the structure of the building, indicating a room with an unusual rectangular shape, offering valuable insight into architecture and design practices of the 16th century. This plan, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, allows researchers and art enthusiasts to glimpse the design sensibilities of the time and understand the evolution of architectural concepts.
