A horizontally oriented lithograph depicts a serene river scene in muted tan and sepia. Centered in the middle ground, an island features stone ruins with tall columns beside spindly palm trees. A low boat with figures glides across the water, mirroring the darkened structures above. Reeds sprout from the river on the left, while small birds fly through the hazy sky. Distant, soft hills rise in the background beneath a fading sun.
