San Antonio de Pala - Campanario 1935 - 1942

"San Antonio de Pala - Campanario" is a graphite drawing by American artist James Jones, completed between 1935 and 1942. The drawing depicts the bell tower of the San Antonio de Pala Mission in California, rendered in a minimalist and precise style. Jones's use of shading creates a sense of depth and volume, highlighting the architectural details of the bell tower. The inscription at the bottom of the drawing, "1816 San Antonio de Pala - Campanario", provides context for the artwork, indicating the age and name of the mission. This drawing exemplifies Jones's architectural drawings and is a testament to his attention to detail and fascination with the built environment.
