Description

A woman in a long dress sits in profile on the lower right, framed by the dark stone pillars and pointed arch of a doorway. Beyond her, a sunlit courtyard of pale paving leads to ruined walls with pointed arches and the carved sarcophagus. A slim cypress stands in the middle ground, with low hedges along the edges.
