This sketch shows a group of people in a room with tall columns. One person kneels on the floor, another stands nearby, and a few others stand or walk around. The lines are quick and loose, like a rough draft. The background has faint shapes of buildings or arches. The artist used light ink strokes to suggest clothing and movement. It looks like a quick study, not a finished painting. Want to see more? Check out Baroque.
