"One Half Design for a Doorway" is an anonymous drawing from the 18th century currently held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It depicts a detailed, single-column design for a doorway. The design shows an intricately carved, fluted column with a decorative capital and a complex lintel adorned with foliage and cherubic figures. The drawing's precise detail reflects the artistic sensibilities of the period and would have been a valuable tool for both architects and craftspeople.
