Beyond the arches, there are palm trees and foliage. The drawing depicts an architectural setting with stone arches and wooden beams. The style is characterized by fine linework and meticulous attention to detail, with shading for depth and structure. The color palette consists of monochrome pencil tones in various shades of grey.
