This drawing shows the interior of a corner in Rochester Cathedral. The space is divided by tall, slender columns and arches, with a grid-patterned window on the left wall. The walls are made of stone blocks, and the vaulted ceiling curves above. A small inscription in the corner reads "Interior of N.E. corner of Sanctuary, Rochester Cathedral" and is dated "25th August 1864". The drawing is rendered in fine lines and subtle shading, giving a sense of depth and texture to the stone surfaces.
