This sketch shows a big funeral parade. A crowd walks in a line, some holding flags. At the front, a small tower with a fancy umbrella sits on a wagon. People wear long coats and hats. The sky is light, almost erased. The title says this is a funeral for a "Moosulmaun of rank"—someone important from Mosul. The artist drew it fast, with quick lines. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
