This drawing shows a row of tall stone arches and columns. The walls are rough-hewn blocks, and the tops of the arches have patterned wooden ceilings. Light comes through small windows in the arches, casting shadows on the ground. The artist used fine lines to create depth and texture, especially in the stone and wood. This kind of careful linework was common in architectural drawings from the time. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
