This pencil sketch by Augustus Charles Pugin, titled *Study for Horse Armory Tower, from Microcosm of London*, depicts a line of men on horseback moving through a large building. The drawing is a study for a larger project titled *Microcosm of London*, a series of architectural and social observations of the city. The work highlights Pugin's interest in capturing the details of everyday life in London, particularly the role of the horse in society. This drawing, dating from c. 1809, demonstrates the artist's keen eye for architectural detail and his ability to depict a scene with both accuracy and a sense of movement.
