Carmel Mission Before Restoration

Edith Loring Peirce Getchell, after William Keith

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a dilapidated mission building in a sketch or etching style with intricate lines. Near the building are grasses and shrubs, leading towards the structure with a partially standing arch and a dome with a cross on top. In the distance, there are hills with vegetation, stretching towards the horizon. The sky is filled with swirling clouds. The color palette is monochromatic with sepia or brownish tones. Additional smaller sketches at the bottom detail architectural elements of the structure.
