The image depicts a grayscale drawing of a ruined castle or fortress in a sandy area. A tall, cylindrical tower with a crenellated top is centered. To the left, a shorter tower is partially destroyed. A wall with crenellations extends from the right side of the central tower. The structures are covered in sand, with sand drifts around and on them. A small building with a gabled roof is behind the central tower. The background shows a hazy sky. The title of the piece is "Ruins by Moonlight" and the artist is Mary Altha Nims.
