A sepia-toned landscape drawing of ancient ruins. The sky occupies the top third and is gray with dark clouds on the right side and lightning. The ruins are in the center and on the horizon line. They are white with columns. On the left are two large stone statues with no heads. Toward the center are two large stone structures with columns. The structure on the left has two columns remaining. The structure on the right has seven columns remaining. In the foreground, a group of people and animals are on a path leading to the ruins. The ground is brown and tan with a few large stones on the right. The drawing has a thin off-white border.
