Plan and Elevation of the Church near the House of Annas

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an architectural elevation and plan of a church. The image shows the exterior view and the floor plan of a church-like structure. The top half displays an elevation with a rectangular building with arched windows and a circular window above a doorway, constructed with a textured facade suggestive of stone. A single tree stands to the left of the building. The bottom half provides a floor plan layout of the building, with clearly delineated walls and interior spaces, showing the church's configuration. The text at the bottom describes this image as a representation of a church associated with a historical or religious figure, indicated by the Italian inscription.
