About this work

This image shows a faded, dark drawing with three scenes. On the left, a winged figure rides a horse, holding a spear. In the center, a crucifix stands with a small, blurred figure below it. On the right, two people kneel near a table, with one holding a round object. The drawing looks old and worn, with parts missing or smudged. The figures are stiff and flat, not very detailed. If you like this style, look up *cross-hatching* next.
