This painting shows a ruined gateway in Dacca, with a few people and animals in front of it. The gateway is made of brick and has several arches, some of which are broken. There are also some trees and bushes growing out of the walls. The painting is done in a realistic style, with a focus on capturing the details of the scene. The colors are muted, with shades of brown and gray dominating the palette. The overall effect is one of decay and neglect.
