Arch of the Claudian Aqueduct is a 1549 ink by Italian 16th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of an old stone archway. The structure has three big arches stacked in a row, with two smaller round windows on the sides. The top is framed by a flat ledge with Latin words carved into it. The ground looks like a paved street leading up to the arches. The artist used fine lines and shading to show the texture of the stone. The drawing is precise, almost like a blueprint. Try looking up engraving to see how artists create these detailed lines.
