Apse of St.-Didier, Avignon

F.L. Griggs

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a street view looking up at a large stone church with a tall spire dominating the composition on the right side. The street recedes into the distance, creating a vanishing point where the buildings meet the sky. Delicate pencil strokes give texture and depth to the drawing. People are walking along the street, providing scale against the architecture. The color palette is primarily shades of gray, enhancing the texture and shadow of the elements. Additional buildings and a streetlamp are visible in the background.
