This finely detailed drawing of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco by Frank Duarte showcases a classic architectural rendering style. This drawing references styles rooted in Architectural Illustration. The detailed line work and precise perspective suggest influences from the Beaux-Arts tradition, a movement that emphasized classical design principles and architectural draftsmanship. This tradition was often employed in renderings of monumental structures, such as bridges, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The style could be compared to the precise technical illustrations of Étienne-Louis Boullée or Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand, whose architectural renderings combined meticulous detail with a sense of grandeur. The clean, deliberate lines also share similarities with Art Deco-era draftsmen, who often rendered modernist structures like bridges and skyscrapers with both functional clarity and artistic flair, as seen in works created to celebrate industrial and technological progress during the 1930s.
