The scene captures a section of ancient Roman ruins on a hillside in Anzio, Italy, under a clear blue sky. In the lower half of the frame, a deteriorated wall, likely part of Nero's Villa (Villa Imperiale di Nerone), is prominently featured. This wall is constructed with a mosaic of small, light-colored, irregularly shaped stones (consistent with opus reticulatum) interspersed with and reinforced by layers of reddish-brown brickwork. Several arched openings are visible along the base of the wall, some appearing partially filled or collapsed. The top edge of the wall is uneven and jagged, indicating significant structural decay. Above the ancient wall, a hillside covered with dry, light green and brown grasses and sparse shrubbery slopes upwards. Two mature palm trees with full green fronds stand near the crest of this hill, positioned towards the center-right of the image. A third, smaller palm tree is partially obscured behind the rightmost main palm. To the far right, partially visible near the hill's summit, is the top portion of a black lamppost featuring two downward-angled light fixtures. On the mid-slope to the left, an unidentified dark, slender, vertical object, possibly a weathered post or stake, projects from the vegetation. The upper third of the image is dominated by an uninterrupted, vivid blue sky, indicating fair weather conditions. No human or animal subjects are present.
