Description

This large perspective of an unidentified church is neatly outlined with pen. The church has turrets, pointed archways, stained glass windows, and circular windows. The bottom appears to be modeled after marble. It is a take on the gothic style. Intricately shaped tiles are drawn on the roofs of the turrets, amongst other fine, decorative details.
