The image shows a well with intricate ironwork at the center, placed on a circular stone base. Nearby, there is a grand building with ornate windows and detailed architectural features. In the distance, a smaller building with a tiled roof can be seen, with several individuals engaging in different activities. The sky is partially visible beyond the rooftops. The artwork uses precise lines to create a detailed texture, typical of a lithograph. The color palette is monochrome, with varying shades of gray and black. Shadows are utilized to add depth and volume to the scene.
