A vertically oriented etching depicts a tall, ornate stone archway surrounded by dense, shadowy trees. Above the dark central opening, intricate carvings show human figures flanking a shield-shaped emblem. Cross-hatching marks the foliage and textured stone, creating areas of deep shadow throughout the structure. Near the entrance at the lower left, several small figures are gathered. A handwritten signature sits in the bottom right margin.
