Visual Summary

Brief Description

A drawing of a robed figure procession above two large serpents and a person in water

Detailed Description

The drawing, rendered in brown ink on light brown, aged paper, presents two distinct horizontal scenes. In the upper register, a procession of approximately eight to ten figures moves from left to right. These figures are depicted in profile or three-quarter view, wearing long, flowing garments. The leftmost figure appears to be kneeling or bending over a large, round object, possibly a drum. Following this, several figures walk in a line, one carrying a stringed instrument resembling a lute or guitar on their back. The leading figure on the right extends their right arm forward, holding a small, indistinct object. The figures are drawn with simple outlines, showing minimal facial features or details. The lower register depicts a scene in water with two large serpentine creatures and a human figure. On the left, a large, coiled serpent-like creature emerges from the water. Its head is adorned with numerous wavy, tentacle-like or frilly appendages. A human figure, partially submerged in the water next to the serpent's body, with arms outstretched, appears to be in distress. To the right, another large, coiled serpentine form is partially visible, rising from the water, with a textured or scaled pattern on its body. The water is indicated by horizontal lines. The overall drawing has a sketch-like quality with some visible pencil underdrawings and smudges on the paper.
