This drawing shows a long, grand building with many windows and a flat roof. In front of it, a wide courtyard has a few scattered people and a bridge over a dry area. The building’s walls are plain but symmetrical, with a mix of small and large doors. On the left side, two figures stand near a smaller structure with columns. The paper has faded spots and some handwritten notes in Italian. The right side of the sheet is mostly blank, with a few faint pencil marks. Look up Baroque next to see how this style shaped architecture.
