The Founder's Tomb, Church of Saint Bartholomew the Great

Joseph Pennell

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an architectural feature within a Gothic structure. The focus is on an ornate paneling or screen with detailed tracery and sculptural elements. The design features pointed arches and delicately carved details. Flanking the central element are two large archways, giving a sense of depth and scale. The piece has a textural quality due to the pencil or etching technique used.
