Charles Goodwin

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an architectural capital design. The image shows a detailed illustration of a fluted capital with rounded, vertical grooves creating a shell-like appearance. Below the capital are two line drawings displaying side views and sectional measurements of the design, including dimensions and angles. The drawing is precise and may have been used as a technical design or blueprint. The capital design has a classical or neoclassical feel.
