Study for Court Chancery, Lincoln's Inn Hall, from Microcosm of London c. 1808

This pencil drawing, "Study for Court Chancery, Lincoln’s Inn Hall, from Microcosm of London" by Augustus Charles Pugin, was made circa 1808. The artwork depicts a detailed architectural study of the Court of Chancery in Lincoln’s Inn Hall in London, with numerous individuals in the interior. The drawing serves as a preparatory study for one of the plates in Pugin’s book "Microcosm of London," a collection of architectural drawings of London, focusing on the city's architectural history and design. It demonstrates Pugin's skilled draftsmanship and interest in the architectural details of the era. This drawing now resides at the Art Institute of Chicago.
