Presentation :

Overhead view of Hadrian’s Pantheon in Rome. The drawing is in landscape format. It is framed in ink. Inscriptions and traces of watercolor are visible in the margins.
The Pantheon stands at the far end of a porticoed courtyard. It comprises three spaces: a pronaos, an intermediate space and a circular cella covered by a dome. The temple’s façade features eight colorful Corinthian columns, surmounted by a triangular pediment with a tympanum decorated in relief. The corners of the roof are adorned with statues.
