Stone elements are scattered on the ground with engravings. Trees and foliage surround the scene. In the distance, two small human figures stand amidst the ruins. The artwork uses an etching technique with detailed line work and a monochromatic palette. The horizon line is suggested by the sky visible through the trees.
