Second room, south wall

  1. The image shows a sparse drawing of a landscape. A tree with elongated branches is on the left side, with a twist in its trunk. Near the horizon, there are several sailing boats on calm water. The composition suggests a vast openness and distance. The sketching is subtle and precise, focusing on gentle contouring and minimal detail. The color palette is monochromatic, dominated by a muted brown tone. The overall impact is serene and understated, inviting the viewer to focus on the hints of narrative within the scene.

Second room, north wall

  1. This is a drawing of a person leading a donkey laden with goods. The image depicts a scene with a donkey walking to the left side while being guided by an individual dressed in layered clothing. The donkey is burdened with sacks or baskets that are strapped to its back. The lines and shading are subtle and detailed, capturing the texture of the clothing and fur. The figure and the donkey are positioned on a lightly sketched landscape with a few hints of foliage to the right, suggesting a rural setting. The drawing's simplicity and detail suggest a narrative moment, with a sense of movement and purpose conveyed through the lines.
