A horizontally oriented lithograph in light tan tones depicts a stone gateway centered between earthen mounds. The structure features a flared cornice with a carved winged disk above rows of seated figures. Two figures with medium-dark skin sit within the dark entryway, and two more stand nearby. Cursive text flanks the structure, and the block title "GATEWAY AT DENDERA" is centered below against the wide, neutral-toned margins.
