The image shows a black and white etching of an old, ruined landscape. A large, circular, ancient temple with columns is in the background on the left. The temple has a flat top with decorative carvings. A smaller, rectangular building with a tiled roof and columns is on the right. A church tower with arches and a cross on top is behind the rectangular building. Trees and bushes are scattered throughout the scene. The sky is cloudy. The foreground shows a rocky, hilly area with some trees and bushes. A few people are in the scene. The image has a caption at the bottom in a foreign language.
