Description

This 18th-century illustration showcases a detailed design of a star-shaped fortification, a common style in military architecture during this period. The fortification is depicted using a pointillism technique, where small, distinct dots of ink are applied to form the intricate details and shading of the fort's structure. The drawing demonstrates advanced knowledge of defensive fortification designs, highlighting the strategic complexities and architectural sophistication required for such constructions. A signature, "C. S Hertell" (?), appears at the bottom right, possibly indicating the artist or a previous owner.
