Artist, French, 1592 - 1635

This is a drawing of an architectural plan for a church. The image shows an interior elevation view of a church building with various architectural elements labeled with letters. The scene includes archways, domed ceilings, and distinct sections labeled from A to M. The shading and hatching are used to emphasize the volume and structure of the church anatomy, while a list on the upper part of the drawing provides a written guide, likely explaining each labeled part. The style combines detailed architectural drawing techniques with a schematic presentation.
