content: Architecture sketch showing a view of a fallen fluted Corinthian column at the Temple of Olympian Zeus on the Acropolis at Athens, Greece. In the foreground at right, the base of the column stands upright as the various segments of the column, or drums, extend obliquely into the middle distance at left. They are separated at roughly regular intervals. The column's ornate Corinthian capital is visible at far left, while in the background, a mountain is loosely sketched.
