The image depicts an ancient stone obelisk standing upright on a flat area, surrounded by a group of people. To the right of the obelisk are several large stone statues with the upper bodies and heads carved, while the lower bodies are not. The statues appear to be emerging from a large stone wall. In the background, on the left, there are numerous small buildings. The sky appears hazy. The title at the bottom of the image reads "OBELISK OF LUXOR".
