The image shows a series of large stone arches creating depth and framing. Beyond the arches is a distant view of trees and a small structure. The intricately etched scene captures the stone texture and foliage with tight lines and stippling. The tonal palette is primarily monochromatic with browns and sepias. Closest to the viewer are massive stone blocks of the arches, with animals grazing under sparse trees just beyond.
