A tall, stone column stands on a stone base. The column tapers towards the top and has a carved capital. The base of the column sits on a flat, cracked expanse of ground. A group of people and a horse are gathered to the left of the column. A body of water is behind them. On the far side of the water are buildings and a hill. The sky is cloudy and dark. The image is in shades of beige and gray. The image has a border with small text at the bottom.
