Plan of the Church near the House of Annas

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a detailed drawing of a church floor plan. It includes labeled sections such as 'Chiesa', 'Altare Maggiore', 'Ingresso del convento', 'Chiaro', 'Celle', and 'Cisterna'. Geometric shapes like rectangles and squares depict different areas of the structure. Hatch shading is used to differentiate between these areas, with a circular feature at the bottom. The drawing offers a bird's eye view of the layout, showing the architectural configuration.
