Artist, French, 1592 - 1635

This is a drawing of an architectural structure with both side and top views. The drawing showcases a detailed design of a small, domed building featuring columns and rounded openings. The side elevation shows a hexagonal structure with an enlarged base topped with a dome, supported by columns forming open arches on either side. The plan view displays an octagonal layout with detailed notations and descriptive text in Italian. The architectural style reflects a classical influence, possibly reminiscent of traditional Renaissance ideals, applied to a small pavilion or sacred space.
