A horizontally oriented lithograph in sepia tones depicts a stone complex beneath a pale, hazy sky. In the center, a building with a tall, tiered minaret and large dome rises above crumbling walls. Ruined arches stand to the left, while several robed figures gather in the sandy foreground. In the distance, low hills and the faint silhouette of a citadel stretch across the horizon, cast in soft, diffused light.
