This painting shows an old stone building with worn walls and arched windows. The structure looks partly ruined, with crumbling edges and a broken staircase leading up to a doorway. Nearby, a smaller church with faded frescoes sits against a pale sky, and a lone column stands in the street. The artist focused on the rough textures of the stone and the faded colors of the frescoes. This style was common in late 19th-century Italian art.
