A horizontal ink drawing depicts a wide cobblestone road receding toward a distant archway. Dense, hatched lines create dark shadows across stone ruins on the right, while expressive dashes suggest foliage on the left. Tall, spindly trees rise against the plain sky. In the foreground, fine lines define the textured stones. The composition uses central perspective to lead the gaze past the crumbling walls into the far distance.
