Lincoln Memorial Watercolor #676A
This landmark watercolor of the memorial is done in a one-point perspective where all of the vanishing point join together at the center. The statue of Lincoln is at the center of the monument and makes for deep shadows suggesting the depth of the structure. The landmark is a Classical Greek landmark of the Doric style. The columns along the front are all equal except for those on the ends, which are put closer together. The reason for this was to offset the optical illusion of them falling away from the structure from a distance.
