Section of the Crossing and the West End of a Cathedral for Berlin

Deutsche Grafik 1792–1827, 1827

This is a drawing of an architectural design. The image includes two detailed architectural elevations, depicted with fine pencil lines and faint red highlights. The drawing on the left features an ornate façade with intricate carvings and sculptural details, including a central arch. The right drawing shows a frontal view of a building with twin towers and detailed entrance features. The precision suggests the drawing could be a study or proposal for an architectural project, highlighting interior and exterior features in a balanced composition.
