Sketch for a Gothic Monument (the Simcoe Monument?)

About this work

This sketch shows two tall, arched doorways with figures standing inside each. The lines are light and rough, like quick notes on paper. One figure on the left looks smaller, almost hidden in shadow, while the other on the right stands clearer, facing slightly outward. The empty space behind the figures makes them look like they’re part of a larger, unfinished idea. The artist used simple shapes and shading to suggest depth without much detail.
