Plattegrond van de fontein Arethuse op eiland Orhtygia, Syracuse 1778

Louis Ducros's "Plattegrond van de fontein Arethuse op eiland Orhtygia, Syracuse" (1778) is a detailed architectural drawing of the Arethusa fountain, a renowned spring in Syracuse, Italy. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a precise plan of the fountain's structure, including the steps, cave, and water channels. Ducros's meticulous detail and the accompanying annotations in French provide invaluable insights into the fountain's design and functionality. This work offers a glimpse into the architectural marvels of the past and highlights the importance of drawings in preserving and understanding historical structures.
