label: Description
content: Architecture sketch of a two story church in Barranquilla, Colombia. A figure rides on a donkey at lower right while the remainder of the space is grassy and rocky terrain. Dominating the composition at center, the Church is viewed obliquely from the rear and is made up of white stucco walls and red terra-cotta roof tiles. Two second story balconies are visible at its rear, while two square bell towers are shown flanking its facade--the top of the furthest tower peeks just above the church's roof at center. Other buildings are visible in the background at left and right. Above, light and puffy clouds hang in an otherwise clear and blue sky.
