This drawing shows a grand temple with tall, carved columns and a flat roof. Two people stand in front of it, one holding a stick, while a dog lies nearby. Palm trees and desert sand frame the scene, giving it a hot, distant feel. The temple’s columns have strange carvings, but the artist focused on how it looks from one angle—like a stage set. The light is soft, and the colors are mostly browns and tans. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more drawings like this.
