Lafayette is built around one church. A tall central spire rises from the middle of the drawing with a pinnacle standing at each corner beneath it, and nothing else competes.

What is in the drawing

A low block with a scalloped front opens the left, a slim spire standing behind it and two arcaded roofs running low alongside. The cathedral takes the centre, its spire climbing between four corner pinnacles over a row of arches, with a gabled front beneath. A tall slab rises past it, notched once near the crown, and low blocks under peaked roofs step down to close the right.

Who buys it

This sells to people who left for Houston or New Orleans and to people who never did, and the church is the shared reference. It moves in spring, and it is bought as a gift more often than for the buyer.

Mug or canvas

The proportion is 2.592 to 1 and ceramic wraps it. Ink is 0.062, with most of the weight gathered in the cathedral rather than spread across the line. Bunched detail suffers more from reduction than spread detail does, so the pinnacles are the part that argues for 24 by 16 rather than the mug.
