A horizontally oriented tan and gray lithograph depicts an ornate cathedral interior. Dominating the right half, an intricately carved stone screen with dual arches shelters two figures. Center left, a figure in a dark cloak stands beside an organist. Further left, heavy curtains pulled aside reveal a distant altar. Detailed organ pipes and sculptural rows fill the upper registers, creating a layered, grand space.
