This sketch shows broken stone ruins with tall columns standing in a row. Two small figures stand near the center, one pointing at the ruins. The ground is uneven with scattered rocks and steps leading up to the columns. The sky is pale with light brushstrokes. The artist wrote the title and date on the bottom left: *"Girgenti. Temple of Juno Lucina. 22 December 1841."* The drawing looks like it was made quickly, with loose lines and soft shading. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this sketch in person.
