A framed pencil or ink drawing of a South Indian temple complex hangs on a wall. The drawing shows a colonnaded pillared hall, a stepped tank or pool in front, and tall gopuram towers with carved sculptural tiers rising behind. Two round paper lanterns glow at the upper left and centre. A faint reflection of the room, including a figure standing near the right edge, shows through the glass of the frame. No physical people are clearly the subject, and the lantern and reflection details are the only human presence in the frame.
