Athens gives its middle to a temple rather than a tower, and the line slows down there to draw the columns individually. Everything on either side is kept low so that roof reads clean.

What is in the drawing

A small domed kiosk on a plinth opens the line, then a run of long low fronts with slotted windows. A bell tower climbs above them, notched along its spire and flanked by two shorter peaks. The Parthenon holds the centre, its columns drawn as separate uprights under a flat pediment, the rock beneath it laid in as one loose stroke. Past it a hipped pavilion steps down, a second columned front rises on a stepped base, and a squared kiosk finishes at the right edge.

Who buys it

People who made the climb are the buyers here, and they remember it as a walk rather than a view. Anyone who studied classics is the other half, and the drawing serves them because the temple is genuinely the subject rather than a detail in the corner.

Mug or canvas

The wrap prints at 2.143 and this drawing is 2.062, near enough that ceramic keeps the height and leaves nothing empty above or below. Ink covers 0.102 of the box, which is what holds the columns apart instead of closing them into a block. Judge a size by those columns: they stay countable from 24 by 16 on canvas.
