Description

A man's head and shoulders appear above a draped, headless marble statue of a standing figure, which rests on a large stone plinth. Behind them, rows of large cut stone blocks form a ruined wall, with a tree line visible at the upper left under a dark sky. Loose stone blocks lie in the foreground at the bottom left.
