This is a drawing of an ornate, ancient doorway. The entrance of a historical stone building is detailed with intricate carvings and sculptures embedded within the column and arch design. The doorway features an open, heavy wooden door studded with metal bolts, partially ajar. The shadows and lines emphasize the craftsmanship of the detailed stonework. The structure's surface appears weathered.
