This drawing shows a tall, detailed building with lots of windows and arches. People in old-fashioned clothes stand in front of it, some gathered in small groups. The sky above is lightly sketched with wavy lines, and the ground looks wet or muddy. The building has a clock tower and a big open space with columns. Notice how the artist used fine lines to show every brick and shadow—it’s almost like tracing. This style was popular for making cities look real and grand. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this drawing in person.
