This detailed pencil drawing, created by Friedrich Maximilian Hessemer between 1822 and 1828, depicts the "Portal von S. Giovanni Battista in Orvieto." The artwork is a technical representation of the portal, showing the ornate arched frame, intricate decorative elements, and the figure of St. John the Baptist in the lunette above the door. The artist's attention to detail reveals the architectural grandeur of the original portal. This drawing, now part of the Städel Museum collection, offers a valuable insight into the architectural style of the time and provides a visual record of the historic portal.
