This is a drawing of a group of figures gathered around columns. The figures are engaged in an action or conversation. The composition is balanced between the columns. The use of hatching and line work suggests depth and contrast. The columns provide a structural element that divides the piece into sections. Each figure is clad in flowing garments. The interactions and gestures imply a narrative moment captured within this architectural setting.
