Front view of the mausoleum of Cnidus (Cnidus) at night. The drawing is in portrait format and has no frame. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
The mausoleum is set in the middle of the countryside, under a night sky. It consists of a stepped base with three levels. The first is blind. It is adorned with engaged Doric pilasters and medallions. The second is stepped. Finally, two attics support a statue of a reclining lion.
