The horizon line is not visible. The arch, constructed from large stone blocks, is on the left, leading towards other buildings on the right. The artwork uses intricate etching techniques to depict textures of stone, foliage, and sky. The color palette is monochromatic, with varying shades of black, white, and gray. Figures are seen walking along a path near the arch, emphasizing the scale of the architecture. In the distance, smaller buildings are depicted under a cloudy sky.
