Alfred Henry Forrester's "Doric Order from Athens" is a detailed architectural drawing of the Doric order, a classic Greek architectural style. The drawing, dated 1845-1870, showcases the characteristic elements of this order, including the fluted column, the simple capital, and the plain frieze. Forrester's precise and meticulous lines highlight the beauty and strength of this ancient architectural form, capturing the grandeur of the Doric order. This artwork serves as a valuable resource for understanding the historical development and visual language of classical architecture.
