"Boekenkast met medaillons," a detailed architectural drawing by Jean Pelletier, showcases a design for a grand bookcase with elaborate ornamentation. Completed between 1772 and 1779, this print from the Rijksmuseum depicts a three-part bookshelf with a decorative cornice featuring sculpted medallions and floral motifs.
