content: Landscape study showing a distant, elevated view of Baalbek in present-day Lebanon and the fertile valley it occupies. In the foreground, a road winds down a slightly wooded hill into a flat middle distance, where green fields and plains spread across the composition. In the distance at center, the city of Baalbek is faintly discernable. Imposing mountains rise in the background, capped in fields of snow.
