Description

A large column drum lies in the foreground among scattered stones and low wall foundations. Behind it, standing columns and partly preserved masonry walls rise from a grassy area, with a group of trees beyond. A small figure stands near a wall at left, and a hazy sky fills the upper part of the view.
