The architectural elements are prominent with the tall obelisk taking center stage, adorned with a cross at its peak. The obelisk sits on a pedestal and is surrounded by a historic setting, which includes a domed structure, likely part of the basilica, with classical architectural designs such as arches, columns, and detailed cornices. In the foreground, there is a depiction of horse-drawn carriages and a few figures, adding a sense of scale and life to the scene. The background is composed of cloudy skies and hints of additional architectural structures, contributing to the historic and grand ambiance of the setting. The artwork conveys a scene from the past, emphasizing the grandeur and the architectural significance of the depicted landmarks. Below the etched scene are labels in Italian, "Obelisco Esquilino e S. Maria Maggiore," grounding the location and the subjects of the etching.

This is a black and white etching or engraving that depicts a historical scene. In the foreground, there is an open square with several figures scattered throughout, including some individuals on foot and others in horse-drawn carriages. The carriages are quite detailed, suggesting a scene from a time when horse-drawn transportation was common. Dominating the center of the composition is a tall obelisk with hieroglyphic inscriptions and a cross at the top, indicating it has been Christianized. On the right side of the image, there is a large classical building with a prominent dome and what appears to be an attached chapel with its own smaller dome. Architectural details of the structures suggest a Baroque style, common in European church architecture. There are clouds in the sky, and the image conveys a sense of depth and perspective, with the obelisk receding into the background and the building's façade detailed in shadow to provide a three-dimensional effect. The text at the bottom of the image reads "Obelisco Esquilino," and below that "a S. Maria Maggiore," which likely refers to the location and the name of the church (Santa Maria Maggiore), possibly in Rome. The inscriptions might be indicating that the scene is situated near or on the Esquiline Hill, one of the seven hills of Rome, where the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore is located. The text at the bottom left corner seems to be the name of the artist or engraver, while the text at the bottom right corner is less clear but could be an indication of the publisher or location where the engraving was made.
