A quick sketch made during lunchtime in a Oaxacan courtyard.
Courtyards are fantastic. Hot take: the world needs more of them.

#photography #20jours20cours #paris #courtyard 20/20 – and I'm ending this series with the Cour Lefuel in the Louvre. This majestic courtyard is not accessible to the public but can be seen from some of the museum windows. The two sinuous ramps are meant for horses, since the building on the back was the imperial stables under Napoleon III.

#photography #20jours20cours 18/20 – I already posted that one here but it's quite interesting because there's a piece of #history in there. The wall at the back in this #courtyard is one of the oldest walls in #paris, since it's one of the few remains of the old fortifications of Philippe II Augustus, from the 12th century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_of_Philip_II_Augustus
