Erechtheion 1890

Themistocles von Eckenbrecher's 1890 drawing, "Erechtheion," depicts the iconic Porch of the Caryatids at the Erechtheion on the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. The artist, known for his architectural renderings, captures the classical beauty of this ancient structure with precise detail. The drawing showcases the six female figures, known as Caryatids, supporting the roof, a unique feature that adds to the architectural complexity and artistic charm of the Erechtheion. This work exemplifies the fascination with Greek classical architecture prevalent during the late 19th century.
