Temple of Minerva (from Sketchbook)

Mary Newbold Sargent

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white pencil drawing of an ancient temple on a hill above a body of water. A black frame borders the drawing on a white background. The temple sits on a hill on the right side of the drawing. The hill descends sharply on the right to a body of water. The left side of the hill descends more gently. There are columns standing in front of a building on top of the hill. Three lines of cursive writing are in the bottom right.
