Description: | A rolling landscape with a ruined temple. The ruined temple at near left, dominates the scene. Only Corinthian columns and parts of the entablature still stand. There are broken columns among the undergrowth and bushes now growing within the ruins. There is flat land in the middle distance and high rolling hills in the background. To the right, two men sit cross legged by a fire, their horses grazing nearby.
Impression (illegible) in circle at brc.
