Representation des Machines qui ont servi à eslever les deux grandes pierres qui couvrent le fronton de la principale entrée du Louvre
The image depicts a black and white drawing of a large building under construction. The building has a long, flat roof and a row of columns along its front. A large scaffolding structure stands to the right, with many people working on it. In front of the building, there is a large wooden structure that appears to be a bridge or a platform. Several people are standing on the platform, and some are in boats in the water below. The sky above is cloudy. The drawing is rendered in a detailed and realistic style, with many lines and shading used to create depth and texture. The image is presented on a piece of aged paper with a rough, off-white color.
