Behind him are two walls, one decorative, behind these are the tops of tall trees. Joined to the arch at right is a wall and edge of a building with a sloping roof. To the left is a ruined wall with three further smaller arches. Through the left hand arch a path runs down a slope and meets up with a track leading toward the main arch. Through another arch, a man can be glimpsed walking past, a camel behind him. Above them on a wall balances a ladder. On a section of wall above this is a man measuring an angle of the large arch with a set square.
