A horizontally oriented albumen print depicts the pockmarked stone ruins of a massive gateway. Centered, a crumbling archway stands above mounds of debris, flanked by roofless, fragmented buildings to the right. A lone figure stands diminutive near the arch's base. From the foreground, a dirt road scarred with a large pit leads through the gate under a pale, empty sky. The entire scene is cast in a muted sepia tone.
