About this work

This sketch shows a building with three arched doors and a round window at the top. The walls have geometric patterns and a flat roof. It looks like a church or old public space. The artist drew it to scale, meaning every inch matches real-life measurements. The note says it’s from Pistoia, Italy, but the sketch itself is in pencil. Want to see more?
