The image depicts massive ancient stone structures seen from street level, below the midline. The horizon is high, with imposing stone walls, a pyramid-like structure on the right, and trees in the distance. The artwork shows detailed texture in the stone blocks with a monochromatic palette of sepia and brown. Small groups of figures populate the lower part of the image, adding scale to the architecture.
