"Details of a Composite Order" is a significant architectural drawing by Giovanni Battista Borra, also known as Giambattista Borra, an 18th-century Italian architect and draughtsman. Borra is renowned for his meticulous and detailed architectural renderings, which have contributed to the study and appreciation of classical architecture. The drawing exemplifies the Composite order, one of the five classical orders of architecture, which combines elements of the Ionic and Corinthian orders. This hybrid style is characterized by its ornate capitals, which feature a combination of acanthus leaves and volutes.

Borra's work is notable for its precision and clarity, qualities that were highly valued during the Enlightenment period, a time when there was a renewed interest in the classical antiquity and its architectural principles. His drawings often served as educational tools for architects and students, providing detailed insights into the construction and ornamentation of classical buildings. "Details of a Composite Order" is no exception, offering a comprehensive look at the intricate details that define this particular order.

The drawing is part of Borra's larger body of work, which includes contributions to several important architectural publications of the time. His illustrations were featured in books such as "The Antiquities of Athens" by James Stuart and Nicholas Revett, which played a crucial role in the neoclassical revival in Europe. Borra's ability to capture the essence of ancient architectural forms with such accuracy made his work an invaluable resource for contemporary architects and historians.

"Details of a Composite Order" not only reflects Borra's technical skill but also his deep understanding of classical architecture. It stands as a testament to the enduring influence of classical design principles and the meticulous craftsmanship of one of Italy's prominent 18th-century architects.
