National Gallery of Art

The image shows an architectural drawing of the chevet of St. Martin sur Renelle, a parish church. The drawing highlights the Gothic style of the church with high-arched windows and ornate tracery. Fine cross-hatching is used to depict shadows and textures on the church's stonework. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of sepia and brown. Cloud formations are included on the left side of the drawing.
