House in Granada

Architect Arnold William Brunner's ink sketch documents a traditional Spanish dwelling in Granada, rendered in the rapid, linear style characteristic of late 19th-century architectural study. The drawing captures the building's vertical composition—stacked floors with varied fenestration, projecting eaves, and ornamental roof details typical of Andalusian domestic architecture. Brunner's technique employs parallel hatching to model form and shadow, a method that demonstrates the architect's working process during an era when hand-drawn sketches preceded construction documentation. This study reflects the period's architectural interest in regional European vernacular, particularly the Moorish and Spanish traditions that influenced American revival styles.
