About this work
Architecture and landscape sketch showing a loosely rendered view of the Temple of Apollo in Corinth, Greece. Situated on a rise in the terrain in the middle distance, the temple is viewed from the side, with one colonnade--viewed lengthwise at left--seemingly collapsed into one column. Loosely rendered columns at right are hastily crossed-out. In the background, a mountain range colored pink and purple is visible beneath an open, light blue sky. Green and brown terrain comprise the middle distance.
