A multi-level architectural scene with a standing woman and two seated figures
The image is a monochrome drawing, rendered in fine lines on light-toned paper, depicting a complex architectural scene with multiple figures. The composition is contained within an oval outline, though the paper itself is rectangular. In the background, a sprawling city or palace complex is visible, characterized by numerous domes, arched structures, and tall, slender spires, all drawn in outline. In the midground on the left, a female figure stands on a balcony or terrace, facing towards the right. She is depicted in a long, flowing garment and a head covering, with her hands clasped together in front of her chest. Below her, the architecture features multiple arched openings and a railing. To the right, within what appears to be an interior room, two figures are seated. The figure on the far right is seated on a raised platform or bed, wearing an elaborate headpiece resembling a crown and a draped garment. To their left, a second figure is also seated, facing the crowned figure. The room has a large, open archway or window on its right side, looking out. The entire drawing is executed with delicate, precise lines, showing preliminary details and outlines without color.
