This drawing shows a church with thick, blocky walls and a mix of rounded and flat roofs. The building has small windows, a few arched doorways, and a tall tower with a cross on top. Two tiny figures stand in front, making the structure look huge by comparison. The artist labeled parts of the church with numbers, pointing to details like a dome and a bell tower. This kind of drawing helps people understand how buildings were designed before they were built. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made detailed prints like this.
