The cross section of the walls reveils dense brick work and the cross section of the bell-shaped roof shows the wooden support structure, which reaches all the way into the vase that crowns the building. The interior of the building is characterized by a simple altar with a crucifix, flanked by columns in the Composite order on either side. Below the cross section, a scale has been added. Medium: pen and ink (partly over graphite) and coloured washes.
