Sluitstenen met bladmotieven en masker 1772 - 1779

This architectural drawing by Jean Pelletier, titled "Sluitstenen met bladmotieven en masker" depicts two keystone designs for an arch, created between 1772 and 1779. The top design features a keystone decorated with leafy motifs, while the lower design features a more elaborate keystone with a decorative floral wreath and a central mask. This drawing, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies Pelletier's meticulous attention to detail and classical design principles, illustrating the enduring influence of architectural motifs in 18th century Europe.
