John William Casilear

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pencil sketch on paper of a large building. The building is drawn in the center of the image and is viewed from the side at an angle. It has a long horizontal profile with a row of vertical lines indicating windows. Two triangular roof sections are visible at the far end of the building. A small bridge connects to the building on the right. A mountain or hill is drawn behind the building on the left. The sketch is simple and lacking in detail. The image background is white.
