Monument of Lysicrates

Themistocles von Eckenbrecher

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a sketched view of an ancient circular structure with classical columns and a sculpted entablature. The viewpoint presents a full view of the structure, with a hill in the distance on the left. The sketch uses dark ink washes and light tones on parchment to depict the texture of the stone and architectural details. The color palette is mainly grayscale and beige. Other buildings and a hillside are faintly visible in the background, partially obscured by sketched foliage.
