The city in the background is situated on a peninsula, with buildings and walls stretching along the coastline. The buildings are mostly white and tan with some darker accents. There are several towers and a mosque with a tall minaret. The foreground shows a dry, sandy area with a few trees and some large, white cylindrical objects lying on the ground. There are several people riding camels and walking. The sky is cloudy and light-colored, with some darker clouds. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of beige, brown, and gray dominating the scene. The painting is titled "Sur or Tsor, Ancient Tyre from the Isthmus" and was created by David Roberts.
