The Erectheum, West Elevation [left half]

John Russell Pope

1898

This is a detailed drawing of a classical building's west elevation. The sketch showcases the ornamental columns, entablature, and precise measurements and annotations. The columns are in a classical style, consistent with ancient Greek or Roman architecture, with an emphasis on proportion and detail. The drawing includes columns with capitals, a detailed entablature, and a pediment, along with numbers and letters suggesting structural considerations or component identifications. — The Erectheum, West Elevation [left half]
