This drawing shows a temple entrance packed with bright colors. At the top, a winged sun sits above two rows of people. One side has men in blue and red clothes, the other shows a battle with a lion. The walls are decorated with symbols and stripes. The artist copied an Egyptian temple but added his own style. The colors pop, and the scenes look flat but busy. Want to see more?
