A horizontally oriented lithograph in muted ochre and gray depicts a stone terrace overlooking a river valley. On the right, a tall octagonal tower rises beside a multi-story stone building. A balustrade leads toward a small domed pavilion near the center where figures sit. To the left, a river winds through forested hills under a pale sky. Fine hatching details the stone surfaces, and dense foliage fills the lower foreground.
