A vertically oriented lithograph depicts people with light skin tones within a deep, beige and gray stone chamber. A tall central column rises from dark water, supporting a horizontal beam. On stone steps to the right, one man in a white turban sits while another raises his arms in gesture. Pointed arched openings and carved inscriptions line the walls. From a sunlit ledge at the top, a third figure gazes down into the muted scene.
