content: Architecture and landscape sketch showing a column fragment from the Parthenon on the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. Prominently situated at center and dominating the composition, the upturned capital of a doric column or, perhaps, the base of a fluted column is shown resting upon a rock below it. It is shaded at right in some detail. The surrounding terrain is loosely rendered in broad strokes of green, brown and gray.
