A horizontally oriented color lithograph depicts a walled city perched atop a distant ridge. In the foreground, rocky, white-streaked cliffs and sparse trees frame a deep valley where a stream flows diagonally. On a path to the lower right, small figures in colorful robes walk away. Muted tan, pink, and green tones fill the hazy scene beneath a pale sky. The distant city is a cluster of stone buildings with several prominent domes.
