This drawing shows a grand building with arched windows, domed roofs, and a long balcony. The walls are light-colored stone, and the domes gleam gold. In front, there’s a wide staircase leading up to the entrance, with a low wall and small posts along the bottom. The artist focused on the details of the arches and domes, mixing soft colors with sharp lines. This was made around 1816–1822 as a precise architectural sketch.
