Monochrome line drawing of a woman seated by a fountain, attended by figures in an architectural setting
This monochrome line drawing depicts a scene with multiple figures within an architectural setting, rendered in fine black lines on aged paper. At the top center, the number "21" is visible. A central female figure is seated on a raised platform, facing left, with her legs extended toward a rectangular water basin. She appears to be holding a small object in her hands. In the center of the water basin, a fountain sprays water upwards and outwards. To the left of the fountain, a smaller figure kneels on a lower platform, holding a small plant or flower. To the right of the central seated figure, two standing figures are depicted. One figure holds a long, thin object, possibly a fan or fly whisk, directed at the seated woman. The other figure stands behind them, with long, dark hair. The entire scene is framed by a building structure featuring a prominent triangular roof and arched window-like openings in the background, through which faint outlines of trees or plants are visible. In the lower right foreground, several vessels and objects, including pots and a bowl on a stand, are arranged on the ground.
