This painting shows a simple sketch of old stone arches and columns. The colors are mostly gray and beige, with faint hints of red and blue in the details. The ceiling has wooden beams, and the arches have small windows or openings. The artist focused on how light falls on the rough stone surfaces, making some areas look darker. This was likely done to show depth and texture. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this lighting trick works in other art.
