A horizontally oriented etching and mezzotint in brown tones depicts a classical landscape. Dense clusters of foliage frame a circular temple and stone arch on the left. To the right, an architectural fragment sits among shrubbery with a bird perched atop it. In the hazy background, a multi-arched bridge spans calm water. Strong, gradated shadows contrast with a bright horizon. The word "ISIS" and fine inscriptions are printed in the lower margin.
