Sepia-toned drawing of a desert landscape with ancient structures. A large, flat area with sandy dunes and sparse vegetation in the foreground. Several small, rounded structures and a few palm trees are scattered throughout. A large, rectangular building with a flat roof and multiple sections stands in the center background. A tall, thin obelisk rises from the right side of the building. A range of hills or mountains is visible on the horizon. People are gathered near the structures, some on foot and some on horseback. A body of water appears to be behind the structures. The sky above is hazy with some clouds.
