The image depicts a painting titled "Fountain of Siloam, Valley of Jehoshaphat" by David Roberts. The scene shows a large stone structure with an arched opening leading to a dark tunnel or cave. Inside the tunnel, a person wearing a red head covering and another colored garment is partially visible. Outside the tunnel, to the right, a person stands facing the tunnel; they wear a white robe with red stripes, a blue and red sash around their waist, and a red and blue head covering. The person is barefoot. The structure's walls and floor are made of large, light-colored stone blocks. The person's shadow is cast on the wall to the right. The background of the image fades into lighter shades of gray and beige.
