A small white-domed sanctuary rests beneath towering cliffs rendered in soft rose, violet and grey. The rocky path in the foreground leads towards its arched entrance, while sweeping palette-knife strokes give the surrounding stone a powerful, almost sculptural presence. The contrast between the modest building and the monumental landscape lends the scene a contemplative atmosphere.
