Brief Description
Faded drawing of two figures under gnarled trees on a light brown ground
Detailed Description
The image is a faded, horizontal drawing on a light brown ground. It depicts two figures positioned towards the right side, beneath a canopy of trees. The figure on the left appears to be seated, facing right, with an elaborate hairstyle featuring dark, possibly black, coiled elements on top of the head. This figure wears flowing robes, with faint traces of red and blue pigment visible in the drapery. The right figure stands slightly behind and to the right of the first, facing forward or slightly left. This figure also wears long, flowing garments and has a simpler, possibly pulled-back hairstyle. Both figures are rendered with delicate, dark lines, and their faces are softly outlined. To the left of the figures, a large, gnarled tree trunk with multiple branches extends upwards and across the upper left quadrant of the image. Its branches are depicted with dark, thin lines, and some faint, dark foliage is visible in the upper left and upper center. More sparse foliage is suggested along the top edge of the image, extending towards the right. The ground beneath the figures and trees is indicated by faint, horizontal and diagonal lines suggesting grass or uneven terrain. The scene is somewhat monochromatic, with the details of the figures and landscape rendered primarily through line work and minimal, faded color.
