Brown paper with rough edges and visible signs of aging. A pencil drawing of three women is centered on the page. The woman on the left sits on a low platform wearing a blue headscarf and dress, her head bowed. The central woman wears a long brown robe over a white dress and a headscarf. She stands with her head turned towards the woman on the left, her hands reaching toward the seated woman. A third woman stands behind her, wearing a pink headscarf and a white dress. A simple border frames the drawing of the women. Faint pencil writing appears at the top of the paper. The background is off-white. Title: A Lady with Attendants Artist: Nainsukh
