Description

“Advance Study” is a detailed architectural pen drawing that captures the historic grandeur of the Advance Study building located in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. Created using black pen on paper, the artwork reflects precision, patience, and a deep appreciation for heritage architecture.

The composition highlights the intricate façade, arches, and structural symmetry of the building, originally designed by Henry Irwin, an architect of the Public Works Department.
