The image shows an old ruin off-center, with a path leading up to it on the right. The horizon is in the upper third of the composition, with a sky suggesting light cloud cover. The style of the work creates texture and dimensionality in the stonework and foliage. Near the ruin, two figures are in a market setting, and two others are walking toward the ruins. In the distance are additional building structures. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of grey and black.
