About this work

This is a black-and-white drawing of a tall church with a pointed steeple. The building has two arched doors at the front, with steps leading up to them. A low fence runs along the bottom of the image, and the ground looks uneven. The church’s walls are made of blocks, and the windows are narrow and tall. The artist used fine lines to show every detail, from the bricks to the fence posts. This kind of careful drawing was common before photography became popular. If you like this style, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art for more prints like it.
