A horizontally oriented brown wash drawing depicts a monochromatic landscape framed by trees. In the foreground, three figures with light skin tones stand behind a stone wall. From our left, a woman faces center, while two men gaze toward a distant domed building on the horizon. Rolling hills and valleys fill the center, rendered in sepia tones with delicate linework. Under a pale sky, soft washes define the architecture and terrain.
