The Municipal Presidency

Pen&ink on A5 Hahnemuhle watercolor sketchbook.
The former royal or consistorial house, now the municipal presidency is located in front of the main jardin. The day here is very hot today, but as soon as you cross the foyer the temperature drops instantly around 20 degrees, a quiet and comfortable shelter from the afternoon heat. The building is itself very simple, but I found a table and chairs hidden in a corner where the view had an amazing perspective. 
I carried with me a small sketchbook and a pen only today. This turned out adequate for this site. The white walls and the dark wood beams were almost a monochrome theme except for the columns which were made pink stone somewhere in the middle value. I don’t think the sketch cries to define the columns, the contrast of value and the perspective will do. 
Here is some information about the building displayed in site.
