This is a pencil drawing of a spire, "Turmkreuz der Frauenkirche in Nürnberg," by German artist Karl Ballenberger (1801-1860). The artwork depicts the church spire with a rooster on top. The simple sketch is a detailed drawing of the architectural detail and illustrates Ballenberger's interest in architectural elements. The drawing currently resides in the Städel Museum.
