Lawrence Flynn

National Gallery of Art

The image is a line drawing of an architectural element or monument. It features a decorative spire or monument with a base and a series of stacked geometric shapes leading to a pointed finial at the top. In the center, there is a roundel with cursive script that reads, "This the Gift of Thomas Hill Esq. To the Church of Christ in Grampians AD 1764." The background is plain, drawing focus to the linework and inscription. The drawing is signed "Lawrence Flynn" in the bottom right corner.
