About this work

This sketch shows four different columns. Two are simple, with smooth tops. One has carvings on its top edge. The last one is a small building with a window. The artist labeled two columns as "have arcade." That means they’re part of a covered walkway with repeated columns. The handwriting is light and quick. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
