About this work

This drawing shows two sets of layered stone blocks from buildings. One stack has a curved top with a small decorative bracket. The other has rounded arches and circles cut into the layers. Numbers and Latin words like *Corinthie* are written beside each sketch. The notes say these are from Rome, near a church and an arch. The artist used fine lines to show depth and texture in the stone. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this carved detailed images into metal plates.
