This drawing shows a long street lined with tall columns. The buildings have dark windows and fancy carvings on top. In the middle, there’s a big archway leading to another building in the distance. The artist used lots of thin lines to create shadows. This was a common way to make drawings look 3D back then. Want to know more? Try looking up engraving.
