This image shows a black and white engraving or print that appears to be from an older book, given the aged look of the page. The scene depicted is of an outdoor setting with architectural ruins, particularly a series of tall, slender columns standing without a roof or any other connecting structure. There's a body of water in the background with small boats or gondolas, and a mountainous landscape further back.

In the foreground, there are various groups of figures that seem to be engaged in leisurely activities or strolling, which suggest the scene might be depicting a historical site that is being visited or observed by 18th or 19th-century figures. There is fencing or railing that separates the water from the land where the ruins stand. The attire of the figures suggests a period setting.

On the bottom left of the image, just under the scene, there appear to be words that might identify the artist or printer, "N. Pouilly ex. cur. Pri. Re." On the bottom right, the word "Perelle feuz" is written, which may refer to the creator of the original artwork if this image is a reproduction.
