label: Description
content: Horizontal sheet tipped vertically into binding. The sheet illustrates four panels of a woodwork ceiling in the Château de Chenonceau. Each panel is framed by a golden yellow molding with the face of the woodwork parallel to the floor colored red. One panel is further decorated with a single golden yellow ribbon of ornament that doubles upon itself at the corners to create fleur-de-lys of loops. The artist notes that all the panels bore this decoration. To the right of this is a section or profile of the molding that frames the panels.
