label: Description
content: Field sketch showing the drum of a fluted column, likely on the Acropolis in Athens. Loosely and hastily rendered, the ground below the column fragment is vaguely discernable. It's vertical, fluted striations, however, are clearly distinct, shown partially in shadow. The sketch is situated in the leaf's upper left corner, while the remainder is blank.
