Cross over Main Entrance to Mission

Geoffrey Holt

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an architectural detail featuring a cross within a niche. The image shows a detailed representation of a cross encased within a niche, with red and beige tones suggesting a weathered stone surface. The cross is embedded into a rough-textured masonry backdrop. The niche is rectangular, bordered by an arched contour. Below the main feature, a measuring scale provides dimensions, and there is a signature "Geoffrey Holt" in the bottom right corner. The drawing is made with pencil and watercolor, giving it an illustrative, technical style.
