A vertical lithograph depicts a towering stone column crowned by an ornate Corinthian capital. It stands on a tiered, square pedestal centered within a desolate, sandy landscape. At the base, minute figures and a camel gather on a dusty plain. In the hazy background, white structures and a low hill border water beneath an overcast, gray sky. The title "POMPEY'S PILLAR" is printed in the bottom margin.
