The Golden Cornice, I

About this work

This sketch shows a tall, detailed building with lots of windows and architectural details. The lines are loose and sketchy, almost like a quick drawing. In the background, there’s another tall structure and a few trees at the bottom. The artist used shading to add depth, making some parts look darker than others. The focus is on the building’s top, which looks like it’s made of gold or highlighted in some way. Want to know more about how this was made? Look up etching.
