This anonymous drawing, titled “Project for a Chapel”, was likely created between 1700 and 1780. The drawing depicts a detailed architectural plan, showcasing an interior space with intricate details and decorative elements. The artist uses meticulous lines to capture the elaborate ornamentation, including the arched ceiling, the ornate molding, and the delicate foliage motifs. The drawing's focus on architectural design suggests it might have been created as a proposal for a chapel interior, allowing potential patrons to visualize the proposed space. The drawing exemplifies the rich and ornate style of architecture popular during this period, capturing the grandeur of European Baroque and Rococo design.
