About this work

This painting shows a large building with a big arched doorway in the middle. People are walking around, and there are horse-drawn carriages. The building has many windows and a sloping roof. In the foreground, there's a shadow of something, but it's hard to tell what it is. The artist used a mix of pen, ink, and watercolor to create the image. The painting is held at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
