Doorway, Main Entrance to Mission

Geoffrey Holt

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a wooden arched door within a rustic brick structure. The image features weathered wood panels, a red brick archway, a stone relief with a blue cross set in a round arch above the door, and a tiled step leading up to the doorway. Some bricks and plaster around the door appear chipped or worn. An inscription "Main doors" and a scale of "4 Ft" are included, attributed to artist Geoffrey Holt. The style is reminiscent of architectural sketching or watercolor renderings.
