The image shows a cobblestone street winding into the distance. On the right side is a highly decorated building with two men near it. One man is seated on the steps while the other is standing against the building. The building features intricate carvings, lattice-patterned windows, arched windows, and terminates in a domed structure with detailed stonework. To the left, there is a long wall with arched niches leading to a group of trees. The image is monochromatic with clear details of the trees, building architecture, and cobblestones.
