Pencil, pen, trace lines on laid paper with four fold marks (328 x 200)

Notes

The plan of the stall is neatly drawn with straight edge and compass but the elaborate crocketed and quatrefoiled gables of the choir stalls, despite the use of trace lines, are poorly drawn suggesing a hand unused to Gothic. A similar subject, a design in an inventive Gothic style for a throne and canopy (42/38) may be in the same hand as the one that drew the plan on the drawing catalogued here.
