Here we have a medieval version of what I'd call an architectural rendering. If it wasn't on tattered and stained paper, I would think it was from some modern traveling artist's Moleskin!

There's a whole
little slideshow of Medieval drawings in the Times, along with an article about what these mostly anonymous folks drew and why. Its kind of a brainy article, so if you haven't had your coffee yet, you can just look at the pictures.
