Ruins

Mary Altha Nims

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image is a pencil drawing titled "Ruins" by Mary Altha Nims. The drawing depicts a stone structure with three large arches, two on the left and one on the right. The left two arches are identical, each with a brick-patterned top and a column in the middle. The right arch is also brick-patterned on top and has a column on its right side. A small window with an arch is on the wall to the right of the right arch. The structure appears to be in a state of disrepair, with crumbling stones and overgrown vegetation. The background of the drawing is a light beige color, representing the paper. The foreground features rocks and plants around the base of the structure. The drawing is rendered in shades of gray, with darker shading used to indicate depth and texture. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom-right corner.
