Front view of the Temple of Zeus at Cyrenae (Cyrene). The drawing is in landscape format. It is framed in ink. Inscriptions and traces of watercolor are visible in the margins.
This is a Greek temple of Doric order, peristyle, as the columns go around the building, and octostyle, as the façade is composed of eight columns. It is built on three tiers. An entablature, adorned with triglyphs and metopes, supports a triangular pediment with a smooth tympanum. Acroteria decorate the corners of the roof. Figures enter the temple. In front of the temple is a pile of sand (?).
