DescriptionPart of a horse-drawn buggy is visible in the left foreground. The ruined walls of a prison complex are in the background, beyond a grassy lawn. Vines, probably ivy, grow on the wall at the left. A frame house and stone guardhouse are at the right. Evergreen trees, probably pine trees, are behind the prison.
