Sketch on tan paper depicting a dark, curtained doorway with heavy drapery on the left and a glimpse of a window with light curtains on the right. The floor is marked with loose, circular lines, suggesting a pattern or texture. The drawing is rendered with bold, expressive charcoal strokes, conveying a sense of depth and shadow.
