About this work

You're looking at a sketch of a fancy room. There are some columns with carvings and a big round thing that might be a mirror or a window. The drawing is pretty rough and doesn't have many details. The artist used a lot of lines to create the shapes and textures of the columns and the round thing. It's hard to tell what the room is for, but it looks like it might be a fancy living room or a hallway. If you want to see more of this artist's work, check out Stevens, Alfred.
