The artwork by Michel Dorigny titled "Panthea before Cyrus? (verso)" shows a sketch of a scene on a piece of aged paper with a yellowish-brown color. The scene depicts several figures. A woman sits on the left on a low platform; she is wearing a long dress and appears to have her arm raised. There is a lion beside her. On the right, a man wearing only a loincloth or short pants appears to be holding a spear or similar object. In the background, there are columns, a canopy or curtain with tassels hanging from it, and another man lying down behind the woman. The drawing is in shades of gray. The paper appears old and worn.
