content: Architecture and landscape sketch showing a view of ancient ruins at the Acropolis of Athens, Greece. In the middle distance at center, a doric column stands intact atop a small rise in the terrain, while the interceding ground is blanketed with column fragments (or drums) and other ruinous blocks. Most column drums are fluted. At lower left, a large stone juts out of the ground. In the background at left and right, two colonnades are faintly rendered.
