Athos and Its Monasteries

A monochrome sketch or lithograph of a monastic building. The structure, identified as the kitchen at Chilandari, features imposing stone masonry with tall arched bays and narrow windows. The roofline is punctuated by multiple tall chimneys and a small Byzantine dome. On the right side, a wooden balcony with a pitched tiled roof is cantilevered out from the stone facade over a steep wall or cliff. The drawing uses soft tonal shading to depict the light and shadow on the masonry.
