Black and white etching of a landscape with ancient ruins. The ruins are on the left and center of the image and have several tall columns. The columns are fluted and have ornate carvings at the top. Some of the columns are standing alone, while others are still connected by a broken archway. The ruins are surrounded by smaller rocks and boulders. There are a few people walking around the ruins, dressed in old-fashioned clothing. On the right side of the image, there is a modern building with many windows. In the background, there are more buildings and trees. The sky is cloudy. The image is framed by a thin border. The overall scene depicts a contrast between ancient and modern structures.
