Watercolor of a man on a ladder lifting a stone at an arched wall, watched by robed figures and armed guards with spears in a dim chamber.

Sealing the Stone and Setting a Watch

A muscular, bare-chested man in red breeches climbs a wooden ladder against an arched stone wall, lifting a large stone slab toward the arch. Around him, robed figures and helmeted guards with tall halberds look on in a shadowed stone chamber, rendered in pen and watercolor washes.
