This page from a sketchbook by Charles Percier, a prominent French architect of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, features a detailed architectural drawing in pencil. Created between 1795 and 1805, the drawing likely depicts a classical-style building, as Percier was known for his Neoclassical designs. This particular drawing is one of many in the sketchbook, which provides a fascinating glimpse into the creative process of a renowned architect. It is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
