Aerial view of Alesia. The drawing is in landscape format. It is organized within a frame drawn in ink. Traces of watercolor and faded inscriptions are visible in the margins.
One of the Roman camps is shown in the right foreground. It is located along two lines of Roman fortifications. These surround the Auxois mountain, visible in the background, on which the Gallic oppidum of Alesia stands.
