This drawing shows fancy designs on a building. The main part has rows of big flowers in red, blue, and green. Smaller flowers and leaves fill the spaces between. The colors are bright but faded now. The drawing copies real stonework from a famous tomb. The artist focused on the pretty patterns, not the whole building. Want to see more like this? Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
