This is a drawing of an ancient sacrificial scene. The drawing features a central sacrificial altar labelled "Iphigenia," surrounded by various figures in motion and diverse expressions. Trees and a cityscape are visible in the background. To the left, a figure gestures upward, and a large bird hovers overhead. Other characters surround the altar, some looking upwards, others tending to the fire or holding ceremonial objects. The use of light and shadow creates depth and movement within the image. The setting includes architectural elements and forestry, enhancing the ancient ritualistic atmosphere.
