The illustration depicts a grand architectural building in black-and-white. The building is shown in intricate detail with columns, statues, and decorations. Trees and people can be seen in the surroundings. The sky is depicted with broad strokes, adding atmosphere to the scene. Other structures are faintly visible in the background. — John H. Cocks, The Old Corcoran Gallery of Art, c. 1880, gouache over graphite on paperboard, Corcoran Collection (Museum Purchase, Membership Association Fund, 1951), 2015.143.77
