A horizontally oriented lithograph in muted beige and gray depicts a stone temple in a desert landscape. In the foreground, five people in white garments gather around a stone block on our right. A sandy path lined with crouching sphinxes leads to an entrance between massive, sloping towers. Left, two colossal human statues stand tall. In the background, a river flows past distant mountains beneath a pale, cloudy sky.
