Elevation of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts an architectural drawing viewed from a slightly elevated angle. The left side features a structure with an ornate cupola supported by pointed arches and columns, rising above a rectangular building. The right side shows an interior view with a large archway leading to a smaller arched niche, with horizontal lines suggesting depth and shadow. The overall style suggests precise line work, with delicate hatching for shading. The color palette is monochromatic, consisting of various shades of grey and black against a pale background. On the wall close to us, a small plaque is illustrated with an inscription in Italian. Two small figures are positioned on a platform.
