Black and white sketch of a large building on a hill. The building has multiple levels, with arches on the lower level and rectangular windows on the upper levels. The building appears to be made of stone or whitewashed walls. There are several sections to the building, with varying roof heights and shapes. The building sits atop a hill with a low wall running along the left side. The sketch is on a gray background with a subtle texture. The corners of the paper are cut off in an octagonal shape. There is cursive handwriting in the bottom-right corner. The overall image is simple and detailed.
