The image shows an etching or engraving presented on an aged paper with slight discoloration. The artwork captures a classical ruin scene with a mix of architecture and nature. In the foreground, there is a large arched structure, partly in ruins, with broken columns, and to the right, there are tall columns standing among the remnants of a building. Behind the architecture, a pastoral scene unfolds, depicting lush trees and shrubbery. The perspective gives a sense of depth, progressing from the architectural elements to the serene landscape. In the bottom right corner of the scene, a small figure can be seen, perhaps engaged in some form of activity that might be related to the setting or just enjoying the view. At the bottom of the image, there is a caption written in French. This is likely the title or a description of the scene. The book or portfolio that houses the image has a worn-looking binding with a floral patterned spine. The page number '71' is handwritten in the upper right corner, suggesting this is part of a series or collection.
