Sepia and red ink sketch of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, surrounded by buildings. In the centre of the image steps lead up to the entrance, above which rises the bell tower. To the right of the entrance a troop of soldiers with lances is marching by; they are represented by a fragment from a printed plate pasted upon the drawing. A bilobate frame partially surrounds the upper part and sides of the image.
