A vertically oriented ink and watercolor drawing within an arched frame depicts a stone tomb topped with a cross. A winged figure draped in reddish-orange cloth sits on a ledge holding a staff, while a stone lion rests to our left. Tall palm and cypress trees rise against a light blue sky. Fine ink lines and muted green and brown washes define the weathered stone and foliage. Dark masonry forms the base.
