This drawing shows a simple wooden structure with two tall, arched supports. Between them is a crossbar with six round objects hanging—maybe lanterns or bells. The base looks like a small platform or steps. The whole thing is outlined in thick, dark lines against a light background. The lines are drawn so tightly they almost look woven, like the artist used a repeated stroke to fill in the shapes. It’s not a fancy scene—just a quiet, geometric setup. If you like this kind of careful linework, look up cross-hatching.
