A walkway leads to the building, flanked by trees and bushes on both sides. Three people are visible in the foreground, two wearing hats. The sky above is cloudy. The building appears to be made of stone or marble with intricate carvings and designs. A low wall or ledge is in the foreground. The photograph has a slightly faded and aged appearance.
