Sinopite

ITwo lines of edging mark out two quadrangular fields on the
rough plasterwork, and onto this were outlined in ochre a sketch
of some architectural features. As in other cases in which the
preparatory graffiti for frescoes have come to light as a result
of the deterioration of subsequent layers of paint, we can
detect the hand of an exper t
drawer, on account of the perspective arrangement of the lines
in the view beyond the bow-window on the left. Although this is
only a rough sketch, there is evidence nonetheless of a number
of outlines which are of only secondary importance, such as the
recipients on the trabeation. The drawing which has been
preserved on the right-hand side seems to be that of an arched
niche with an apse consisting of sturdy side pillars.
