The image depicts a large, white stone gate with a pointed archway in the center, set into a thick wall with battlements. Two towers flank the gate on either side. The gate is set into a hillside, with a dirt path leading up to it. Several people are gathered around the gate, some on camels or donkeys. The people wear traditional Middle Eastern clothing, including robes and head coverings. The sky is hazy and gray. The title of the piece is "Gate of Damascus, Jerusalem" and the artist is David Roberts.
