Overhead view of a stone-cutting workshop. The drawing is in landscape format. It is organized within a frame drawn in ink. Traces of watercolor and inscriptions are visible in the margins.
Under a wooden shelter, several workers are at work on a construction site. An architect can be seen on the right. He is drawing plans with a compass. A group of stonemasons is on the right. One is roughing out blocks with a pickaxe. Two others shape the work with a mallet and chisels. The other two check measurements with a ruler and square. The last two transport a carved and finished block. Rough blocks are stored in the background. Measuring instruments and templates hang on the walls of the workshop.
