Additional information

oeil-de-boeuf windows, also called bull's-eye windows, are a small circular or oval window. In French, oeil-de-boeuf means eye of the steer, and, in the French Renaissance Palace of Versailles, erected for Louis XIV between 1661 and 1708, there is a small antechamber called the oeil-de-boeuf room, which is lighted by such a small, round window. This type of window is also frequently featured in the Jacobean manor houses of 17th-century England. They are very typical of Parisian architecture.
