A night scene is viewed from within a Roman-esque structure with two large columns, the right-hand one wrapped with a thick vine. The scene contains a large leafed tree upon a cliff, with a sill body of water beyond. A crescent moon hovers over the horizon, and an owl is in flight beneath the tree. Atop the monument is the motto Nox Venit.
