Capilla Real Entablature, Granada is a 1912 graphite by John Singer Sargent, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a close-up of ornate stonework, like the top of a building. You can see carved details—scrolls, brackets, and a small window with a pointed arch. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a quick note of how the real thing looks. The drawing focuses on the *Capilla Real* in Granada, a famous royal chapel. The artist used light pencil strokes to show depth without filling in every line. If you like this sketchy style, look up Sargent, John Singer.
John Singer Sargent (; January 12, 1856 – April 15, 1925) was an American expatriate artist, considered the "leading portrait painter of his generation" for his evocations of Belle Époque and Edwardian-era luxury.
