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

This page from a scrapbook, created by Charles Percier between 1795 and 1805, showcases his architectural designs. The drawings depict a building’s façade with a series of arched windows, and a detailed floor plan of an interior space. Percier, a prominent French architect and designer, is known for his Neoclassical style, which is evident in these meticulous sketches. These drawings offer a glimpse into his creative process and the architectural trends of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The scrapbook, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a valuable resource for understanding the evolution of Neoclassical architecture and its influence on interior design.
