Stage Design, Interior of a Church

Pen and brown ink with grey wash shows a stage-set view of a vaulted church interior, with rows of arches and columns receding toward a tomb-like altar. At left, two veiled figures stand beside a balustrade, while a man in a dark cloak and a woman in a pale gown walk in the centre, beneath an Italian caption.
