This architectural drawing by Karl Ballenberger, a German architect who lived from 1801 to 1860, depicts a detailed section of a parapet. The drawing, which is currently housed in the Städel Museum, is a fine example of architectural draftsmanship. The precise lines and intricate details of the Gothic arches and columns showcase Ballenberger's skill in capturing the essence of architectural design. This drawing is a testament to the enduring power of architectural detail and its ability to inspire artists and architects alike.
