This detailed pencil drawing by German artist Gustav Rügemer showcases an architectural element from India. The artwork depicts a column, specifically the capital and the architrave. The intricate detailing of the column's capital, with its bulbous shape and fluting, reflects the characteristic style of Indian architecture. The drawing emphasizes the precise measurements and proportions of the architectural component, highlighting its aesthetic and structural importance. It provides a glimpse into the artist's interest in architectural studies and the beauty of global architectural forms. This drawing, held at the Städel Museum, is a valuable document of Rügemer's artistic practice and an important resource for understanding the architectural heritage of India.
