This watercolor and ink drawing shows a view across an open grassy field toward a cluster of ruined masonry, a coffered vaulted apse, and a white building topped by a brick bell tower. Two figures in the foreground gesture toward the scene while a shepherd tends sheep on the left. The work is attributed to William Pars and dated 1781.
