This drawing is a view of an interior architecture scene similar to an ancient ruin. It is a large, vaulted space flanked by dilapidated walls. The structure features several arches, with some areas showing signs of decay and vegetation overgrowth. Farther back is an area that seems to open up slightly in the distance. The drawing's technique consists of loose, expressive lines with cross-hatching and shading. The lines are red on beige paper.
