This detailed architectural drawing by Robert Mylne the younger, titled "Design for Entablature," is a pen-and-ink drawing that shows the intricate design of a classical entablature. Dated 1750-1811, the drawing is a blueprint for a design for a building element that appears in classical architecture, specifically a sculpted cornice or molding. The design includes intricate details such as dentils, rosettes, and other ornamental elements. The drawing reveals the precision and artistry involved in architectural design during the 18th century. It is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
