About this work

This drawing shows a tall building with three floors. The bottom floor has big windows with arches above them. The middle floor has smaller windows with simple frames. The top floor has even smaller windows, lined up neatly. The whole thing looks like a sketch for a real place. The artist wrote "Palazzo Pollini, Siena" at the bottom. That means this is a plan for a building in Italy. The lines are all measured in feet, showing how big each part should be. Check out Pope, John Russell to see more of his architectural drawings.
