Several columns with capitals stand in a row on the left, with a large dark-green pine tree in the centre and a smaller tree on the right. Low ruined stone walls and scattered blocks lie across the dry, open ground. A thick column in the right foreground frames the view, and a second column edge appears on the far left. No people are visible.
