The eaves, cloisters, windows, and culverts are rendered in ink from the top to the bottom, showing the visual effect that these parts gradually darken under the action of diffuse light, effectively emphasizing the concave part, and enhancing the three-dimensional sense of the picture, It is a masterpiece of Chinese painters using European architectural rendering to depict Chinese classical architecture.
