This anonymous drawing, "Elevation for a Portico of Doric Order," is a detailed architectural design from the late 18th or early 19th century. Featuring a Doric portico with statues, a large arched window, and intricate details, the drawing showcases the classical architectural style popular during the era. The meticulous lines and subtle shading suggest that it may have been created as a preliminary design for a grand building. The drawing is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY.
