Loggia 1600 - 1700

This anonymous drawing, titled *Loggia*, is a detailed study of an architectural element, likely created between 1600 and 1700. The artist uses a light brown wash to create a sense of depth and shadows, drawing attention to the structure's form. The artist's focus on the architectural details suggests an interest in classical architecture, a common theme in the Renaissance and Baroque periods. This drawing, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, demonstrates the artist's meticulous observation of the built environment.
