Answer 1

I know the answer if you know the question. I can guess a couple of things one should be what you want.

The architecture of the Golden mean and enlightenment. Pillar, portico. architraves and acanthus.

Another possible answer was the use of plaster casts of famous Greek and Roman sculptures or parts there of, as models for their own drawing studies.
