The ruin of a stone wall extends from the immediate foreground at lower center to the middle distance at upper right, where a portion of a structure with columns is visible at far right. Below the wall at lower left, two intact Corinthian columns stand beside one another while the terrain continues to descend beyond them. In the middle distance or background at left, several sheep are visible atop a low prominence. Another ruin is somewhat indistinctly rendered beside it at center.
