Image description
The image shows a staircase leading up to an architectural structure. On the left, there is a statue on a raised platform. The horizon blends with the sky with no distinct line. The depiction is sketch-like, with visible pencil marks and light brushstrokes on a cream paper. In the distance, there are vague outlines of more architectural features and possible tree forms.
