The image is an etching featuring a large rock formation slightly off-center. The rock is detailed with textures through fine lines. Inscriptions are visible on the rock's surface. Trees frame the scene on either side of the rock, with swirling strokes for leaves and fine lines for trunks and branches. The horizon line is below the rock, depicted by grassy terrain. The sky shows delicate horizontal lines suggesting clouds. The color palette is monochromatic, with shades of black and gray.
