This sketch shows two men in long robes and turbans, standing indoors. One holds his hands together, while the other leans on a railing near a table with a clock and candle. The background has a staircase and a small drawing of a hanging light fixture. The artist focused on the folds of their clothes and the details of their headwear. The lines are light but precise, capturing how the fabric drapes. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build shading with lines.
