Date:

late 19th century ?

Description:

- A rendered elevation (and a plan in the upper left corner) of a city-park gate comprised of a monumental central arch and lower lateral wings with fountains. The style of the architecture is Neo-Baroque. Set in a monochrome, wash-rendered park landscape with a vignette of an 18th-century horse-and-carriage in the left foreground, the line drawing of the gate is competent, although the shadow projections are incorrectly drawn.
