A horizontally oriented lithograph depicts ancient temple ruins rendered in sketchy, dark lines on cream-colored paper. On the right, several thick, weathered columns support a crumbling stone roof. A low, curved wall with stone steps in the foreground frames an excavation pit filled with fragmented blocks. Beyond the ruins, a thin band of water lies before faint, jagged mountains. Expressive, charcoal-like strokes create a rugged texture across the landscape under a pale sky.
