This is a drawing of a mission building facade with a label of "1822" and "Mision Nuestra Senora la Reina de Los Angeles". The drawing illustrates the front of a historical mission structure, featuring a central archway, rectangular windows, and minimal architectural details typical of early mission architecture. The drawing includes the date "1822" displayed on both the building's pediment and on a ribbon-like label beneath the structure. The facade is adorned with a cross at the top, atop the triangular gable. The style is simplistic, with clean lines and shading to suggest depth and form.
