Studies of the Cenotaph of Annia Regilla

Mauro Antonio Tesi

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of architectural elements of a building. The detailed sketches depict a classical building facade with ornate columns, a pediment, and decorative moldings. The architecture features Corinthian columns, with fluted shafts and elaborate capitals, along with architectural ornaments and portions of an arched window or niche. The use of light shading and line work adds depth and detail to the features, creating a study or conceptual drawing of the elements.
