A horizontally oriented black ink etching features thick, twisted trees on a sloping hillside to the left. Dense, dark lines create deep shadows on the ground. To the right, fine, grainy strokes define a stone building with an arch and a small turret atop a wall, where two tiny figures appear. Two small trees stand in the distance against a pale sky, while the composition guides the eye toward the ruins.
