This drawing shows a circular temple with a dome and columns, surrounded by an ambulatory. The artist has sketched the building's details, including arches and a staircase. The drawing is done in graphite on a beige background. The drawing is quite detailed, with the artist paying close attention to the architecture of the temple. The use of graphite allows for a range of values, from light to dark, which adds depth to the drawing.
