This painting shows a big stone church door covered in carvings of people. Outside, a crowd of folks in old clothes stand, sit, and chat. Some look up at the statues, others talk in small groups. In the background, more buildings and a dome peek through a hazy sky. The carvings on the door are packed close together, almost like a wall of faces. The artist used soft colors and light to make the stone look real. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
