Muur met smalle nissen naast alkoof c. 1650

This architectural design by Jean Lepautre, a prominent French engraver and architect, showcases a grand doorway with intricate ornamentation. Created around 1650, the drawing features a classical arch framed by fluted columns and a decorative frieze, showcasing Lepautre's mastery of the Baroque style. The piece includes two niches on either side, each containing a bust atop a pedestal, further enhancing the architectural grandeur and decorative elements typical of the period. This etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Lepautre's influence on architectural design during the 17th century.
