Athos and Its Monasteries

A monochrome sketch or wash drawing of the town of Karyès on Mount Athos. The perspective looks from a foreground passageway toward a cluster of buildings. The central feature is a tall, square masonry bell tower with alternating dark and light horizontal bands, topped with a cross on a small dome. The surrounding buildings are multi-storied with wooden balconies and overhanging galleries. To the right, several small, conical-roofed structures sit atop a courtyard wall.
