A horizontally oriented etching in black ink depicts a large circular stone ruin overgrown with shrubbery on the right. To its left, a two-story house features a porch where figures congregate. Three small figures walk across a dirt road in the foreground. Fine, dense strokes create textures on the structures, while wispy sky lines guide the eye toward the horizon. A line of Latin text is inscribed along the bottom edge.
