Design for a City Gate in Trier

Deutsche Grafik 1563–1750, 1746

This is a drawing of architectural designs showcasing archways and elevations. On the left side, there is an ornate archway with classical detailing including columns, a triangular pediment, and a central cartouche, topped with a decorative sculpture suggesting maritime themes. On the right, there is a cross-sectional view of a simplified arch structure highlighted in pink tones, illustrating a cut-through side view of the arch. Both designs are annotated with measurements and notes, likely for construction or architectural planning. The drawing emphasizes symmetry and ornamental design in an architectural context.
