A horizontally oriented color lithograph depicts a landscape with a roofless stone structure and ornate columns on the left, perched atop a stone terrace. A river flows in the foreground, with wooden boats and small figures gathered on the right. Spindly palm trees rise nearby. Muted beige, tan, and pale blue tones color the scene, which includes hazy mountains in the distance under a light, expansive sky.
