Sepia-toned sketch on aged paper. A large arched opening dominates the left side. The arch appears to be part of a wall or structure with columns on either side. Several columns are visible to the right of the arch, and they seem to form a colonnade or a portico. The columns are drawn with simple vertical lines. The arch itself is outlined with a double line. A hint of a landscape with what appears to be water is visible through the arch. The sketchy style suggests it is a quick study or draft. The artist's rendering is loose and minimal, capturing the essence rather than fine details.
