Artistic analysis

It’s impossible to identify the subject matter of this unfinished sketch. Three distinct levels are depicted, conveying the work’s depth and perspective. In the upper left, a group of warriors appears to be approaching the figure of a woman. Another woman is shown reclining in the lower part of the sketch. It may allude to a biblical theme.
