Drawing, Cour Carrée (Courtyard Square)

We have 2 images of Drawing, Cour Carrée (Courtyard Square) .

Drawing, Cour Carrée (Courtyard Square)

Black ink perspective drawing of a courtyard with a square at the center. Three trees fill the foreground planted equidistantly in a row. They are seen at a slight angle with each tree appearing shorter giving the illusion of distance. The leaves are drawn in detail, each one distinct from the next with varied short black lines creating the illusion of light and dark. The leaves are so dense there is no definition in between the tops of the trees. The trees project dark shadows filling the left bottom corner. Seen through the tree trunks to the center of the courtyard is a circle of grass. It extends from the center to the right side of the drawing. Inside the grass is a square of stone slabs surrounding a short stone wall. Over two dozen trees continue in the background forming a square around the courtyard: the leaves forming a dense hedge like structure. The trees are planted in two rows evenly spaced forming a walkway. The leaves overhead create a shaded area.
