Boston Public Library: McKim Courtyard

Piece description from the artist

This drawing is of the gorgeous McKim Courtyard, located within the Boston Public Library at Copley Square. This courtyard is a hidden gem that many Bostonian’s have never even visited, or know that it exists. It resembles Boston's Gardner museum courtyard in many ways with Roman pillars and a jolly fountain in the middle. The statue depicts a Bacchante holding a faun and a bunch of grapes. This courtyard has been the site of hundreds of wedding ceremonies over the years. I drew this as part of my Boston Scenes gallery, because it is one of my favorite hidden places within the city.
