The painting shows a circle of large stones, with four standing upright. A man is measuring one of the stones with a piece of string. You can see two men in the foreground, pointing at something on the ground. The painting is a simple depiction of a scene. The detail that makes it interesting is the man measuring the stone, which suggests a sense of curiosity about the monument. To learn more about the artist who created this work, look up artist: Beranger, Gabriel, ca.1729-1817.
