describing illustrations
When we are describing an illustration, we do not wish to point out every detail of it. The audience will not be interested in something they can see for themselves. They are more interested in things that are related to the illustration in a significant way. Therefore, when we are describing an illustration, we may briefly mention the subject of the illustration first, and then focus on the related background information about the illustration.
