Choir aisle in Amiens Cathedral is a 1840 watercolor by A.W.N. Pugin, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows the inside of a church. You can see tall arches and pointed windows letting in light. Below, there’s a choir area with rows of seats and small scenes painted on the walls. The artist focused on the details of the stonework and stained glass. The colors are faded but you can still make out the shapes of people and decorations. Next, look up A.W.N. Pugin to see more of his church designs.
