Herodias: Page 7, The sun made the cliffs of white marble glitter, and the golden rays on its roof

William Walcot

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a grayscale sketch of a cityscape with a large building in the foreground. The large building is on the right side of the image and appears to be made of stone or marble, with a flat roof and several windows. A portion of a second, lower building is visible in front of and to the left of the large building. The buildings have a worn, aged appearance. In the background, there are other buildings that appear smaller and less detailed than the main structure. The sky above is dark at the top, gradually lightening towards the horizon. The overall atmosphere suggests an old city with ancient architecture. The image is rendered in a sketchy style with visible lines and shading.
