Aerial view of Letoon de Xanthos. The drawing is in landscape format. It is organized within a frame drawn in ink. Traces of watercolor are visible in the margins. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
The sanctuary is set within a rectangular courtyard enclosed on two sides by porticoes. It comprises a semi-circular colonnaded portico and three temples. Two hexastyle temples, one dedicated to Leto and the other to Apollo, flank a smaller temple dedicated to Artemis.
