Abstract

The drawings, featuring some main dimensions, signed and dated, are part of a set of six plates. A small graphic scale at 1:200 is placed at the lower left. At the upper right there is an illegible signature with the date 14-2-38 XVI beneath it, probably the approval mark of an assistant.
In addition to the plan and section of the temple, the other four drawings depict a section, two elevations, and a capital. It is uncertain for which exam the drawings were produced. From the list of completed exams, it can be assumed they were made either for the ‘Elements of Composition’ exam or for the ‘Stylistic and Constructive Characteristics of Monuments’ exam.
