  2. The image displays curved and angular lines creating an abstract composition hinting at humanoid shapes and possible vegetation or trees. The lines suggest motion and activity, with shapes resembling drums and sticks scattered around. The overall impression is of a gathering or event, with figures depicted standing or moving, along with lines indicating movement or sound waves from musical instruments.

  3. The image depicts a landscape with a road alongside a canal. The view is elevated, showing the road, canal, trees, and structures on the horizon. The style of the sketch is characterized by soft lines and shading, creating depth. The color palette is monochromatic with shades of gray. Closest to us, a canal borders the road with some ducks in the water. Figures and carts are seen on the road leading into the distance.
