Summary: | This image is a watercolor conceptual painting of a Greek temple done by Miriam Toulmin sometime between 1917 and 1942. The painting shows a front view of the temple with its columned porch, doors, moldings, painted stone carvings, steps, and partially sloped roof surrounded by trees, landscaping, and mountains. The painting is set within framing art which shows details of the columns, moldings, and painted carvings, a side view of the temple, a floor plan, and a drinking horn. In the lower right corner there is an artist's information block which reads: "Miriam Toulmin, Alabama Polytechnic Inst., Class 'A' & 'B' Archeo, 'A Circular Greek Temple'". To the left of the block are two labels which read: "School of Architecture, Architectural Renderings, RG 457, Original Number 93, 'A Circular Temple', Miriam Toulmin" and "93." The painting is in fair condition except for the missing lower right corner and minor edge wear and is encapsulated.
