This faded drawing shows three figures in a simple, worn-out style. At the top, a woman sits inside a round circle, holding something in her lap. Below her, two other figures stand—one on each side—dressed in long robes. The background looks like a building with a small doorway, and everything is painted in dull reds, browns, and grays. The central figure is framed by a round shape, which makes her stand out. The rest of the drawing looks like it might have been damaged over time, with parts flaking away. If you like this style, look up roundel to see how circles were used in older art.
