Joseph Thürmer's "Eine Portikus dorischer Ordnung in Athen" is a graphite drawing that depicts a street scene in Athens, likely around the early 19th century. The artwork focuses on a Dorican-order portico, seen from a narrow street, with buildings flanking the viewer's perspective. Thürmer was a German artist who travelled to Greece and produced many drawings of its ancient architecture, capturing the classical beauty and the contemporary life surrounding the ruins. The drawing has a realistic tone, highlighting the details of the ancient structures and the daily life of Athenians, a snapshot of the early 19th century. This drawing is currently housed in the Städel Museum.
