Ruined Circular Temple is a 1750 ink by Paul Sandby, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image depicts a circular temple in a state of ruin, with crumbling walls and a broken archway. The temple is surrounded by trees and other foliage, with a few people standing in the foreground. The temple's architecture is classical in style, with columns and arches that are typical of Baroque design. The etching technique used to create the image gives it a sense of depth and texture, with intricate details that are visible upon close inspection.
