Geoffrey Holt

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an architectural detail featuring a cross set against a background of textured stone. The stonework is shaded to suggest depth and texture. Below the central image, there is a scale for size comparison. The signature "Geoffrey Holt" is at the bottom right. The focus is on the cross and its architectural surroundings, with negative space around the focal point.
