content: Vertical sheet illustrating in plan a section of tile flooring near the altar in the chapel at Château de Blois. The outermost set of tiles is rendered in brick red, possibly in imitation of terra cotta. The next field of tiles consists of alternating blue tiles with yellow fleurs-de-lys and white tiles with small brown ornament. The next field consists of one row of tiles that are white with a green quatrefoil enclosing gradually smaller quatrefoils in white, brown, and yellow. Another group of the brick red tiles is at the innermost edge. The scale of the drawing is written below.
