About this work

This scene shows a group of people in an old stone courtyard. Two men on horseback stand near a low wall, while others sit or crouch on the ground, some with their heads in their hands. The buildings behind them have arches and a tower, and the sky looks overcast. The horses seem calm, but the people on foot look tired or worried. The artist used simple shapes and muted colors, focusing more on the scene’s mood than details. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create texture with lines.
