The image shows an ancient and partially ruined architectural structure, with massive stone arches. The view is from ground level, with a low horizon line just above people and carts. The illustration is finely etched, emphasizing the stone texture. The color palette is mainly soft sepias and browns. In the distance, the ruins contrast with the delicate portrayal of human activity. The sky is blank.
