A vertically oriented sepia lithograph depicts a highly ornate stone archway. Centered within the portal, text reads "PICTURESQUE SKETCHES IN SPAIN." At the top, a central niche holds a seated Virgin Mary with the Christ child, flanked by four standing figures. On both sides, figures stand within tall, decorative side structures. The entire facade is covered in intricate stone carvings and niches. All figures have light skin tones.
