This is a drawing of a mission-style building. The architectural focus of the drawing is on a frontal view of the building with a gabled roof, a small window or opening on the wall of the upper section, and a row of three arches at the bottom. The lower section is detailed with a brick-like texture. At the bottom of the drawing, a ribbon-like banner bears the text "1797" followed by "Mision San Juan Bautista." The drawing presents a minimalist style, focusing on clean lines and simple shading to interpret the architectural elements.
