Yours

This is a drawing of two seated figures with a table between them. The scene includes one figure on the left wearing armor, gesturing upwards, while the figure on the right holds an arm raised and wears a dress and a crown or headdress. Light, wispy lines above suggest ghostly or celestial figures hovering above them. The composition is delicately sketched in soft pencil lines, capturing the folds of fabric and the contours of the figures with light shading. The drawing conveys a narrative or interaction between the two central figures, engaged in a conversation or an exchange of significance.
