Here's a description of the image:

The image shows what appears to be a faded or incomplete mosaic design. It features three distinct figures against a light, off-white background that looks like a piece of aged paper or parchment.

On the left, a male figure is depicted wearing what looks like regal attire, including a crown. He is holding a structure that resembles a model of a church or building with a dome. Next to him is an inscription.

On the right, there is a figure of a woman, possibly a Madonna, holding an infant, perhaps the Christ Child. Both figures are surrounded by halos.

The style suggests Byzantine or early Christian art, with a focus on symbolic representation rather than realism. The use of dots to outline and shade the figures suggests this is a design for a mosaic or a similar form of art. The fading and incompleteness suggest that this is an ancient sketch.

Overall Impression:

The image appears to be a tracing or a detailed study of an ancient mosaic. It shows figures, likely from a religious scene, executed in a style reminiscent of Byzantine art. The use of small dots to create the figures and details is a key characteristic of this tracing technique.

Key Features and Elements:

Interpretation:

The tracing technique suggests that the artist was studying and documenting a specific artwork.
