Low, this black, gray, and white gouache on cream wood pulp laminate board piece captures the essence of an era long gone. The scene depicted in this artwork takes place before a majestic pillared porch, reminiscent of classical Greek architecture. The figures in the image are both male and female, standing together as they admire their surroundings with awe and wonder. Their presence evokes a sense of anticipation and excitement for what lies beyond those grand columns. Low's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush. From the intricate depiction of mythical beasts like griffins or gryphons perched atop each column to the delicate rendering of clothing worn by these characters, it is clear that he was deeply inspired by ancient Greek culture.
