Dominating the composition at center, the roughly cubic structure has several vaulted hallways and ceilings on the first and second levels. Grass and moss grow on various surfaces and niches. Just in front of the ruins at center right, a leafless tree climbs to roughly the same height as the structure. Distant landscape loosely rendered in background at center right.
