This drawing shows three tall windows with fancy glass panels. Each window has a grid of small squares, some colored in bright blues, reds, and greens. Below the windows, there are wooden shutters with a lattice pattern. The artist focused on how light and color fill the glass. This was done while traveling in Cairo, Egypt.
