Title
Sheet of Drawings With Geometric Figures
Description
This page, labeled help in drawing figures according to the lessons taught by the art of geometry, demonstrates how geometric configurations underlie the shapes of natural forms and the designs of architectural features. They seem to give insight into the design process of Gothic artists, but could they also represent the fertile doodlings of a passionate amateur?.
