Indian ink drawing made inside the Greek theatre in Taormina, Sicily.

The distant perspectives of the surrounding plains are drawn through the two massive breaches in the back wall of the stage, including the one in the centre right of the sheet through a semicircular arch. The graphic of a barrier occupies the lower right part and continues with the tracing of the entire perimeter of the first tiers of the amphitheatre on the bottom of the sheet.

If a few silhouettes humanize the scene, this drawing remains very mineral. It is the impressive interior circular geometry of the ancient ruin completely open to the outside that is rendered by the artist with a perspective of a road winding as a vanishing point, symbol of the past time of a vanished civilization.
