The image features a landscape with prominent ruins set against a skyline with wispy clouds. A wall stands to the left, while an archway on the right leads further into the landscape. Beyond the archway, herd animals are visible with a herder guiding them. The style showcases fine engravings for texture, with a monochromatic sepia color palette. Trees frame the sides of the image, and lush foliage and ferns cover the ground closest to the viewer.
