I want to make a carved wall, just like the wall of the painting below all the sculptures are located in, that is sinked inward.
How can I make a curved wall like that?

not sure how to do it in Revit, but the name you are looking for is a Niche

The quick solution would be to draw 2 walls, one directly in front of the other, and then use the wall opening tool to cut out an opening of the wall in front exposing the wall behind it. Because this is a modeling program, I would suggest thinking about how some one would actually build it, and then draw it like that.

The arc at the top is an "arch". If it were plain AutoCAD it could have been made with the arc command or with a trimmed circle.

An understanding of the terminology and its correct usage would help to get your point across in a clear and concise manner. Not a criticism just a little something to keep in mind. Good luck in your endeavor. When you are finished perhaps you can share your drawing with us.

Look at the wall in the area that you wish to add your arched cut out in an Elevation view. Although you can easily add openings to your wall with the wall opening tool, you are limited to rectangular openings. So in this case you would select the wall and then click on the "EDIT PROFILE" button.

Then on the tool bar to your left select the "LINES" option.
Now a few icons appear at the top. Select the tool that you want and draw in the correct shape.
Go back to the tool bar on the left when you are done and click on the "FINISH SKETCH" button and you are done!:D
