Plan and Elevation of the Church near the House of Caiaphas

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of the floor plan and sectional elevation of a church or chapel. The image presents an architectural illustration depicting the interior layout and vertical section of a structure. The upper half of the drawing shows an arched recess with detailed hatching. Below, a floor plan of the same building is shown, with various architectural elements and spaces labeled A, B, and C. The drawing includes a key at the bottom left which provides explanations for these labeled sections. Horizontal and vertical lines, along with hatching, convey the dimensionality of the architectural elements in the blueprint-like representation.
