Aerial view of the theater in Segesta (Segeste). The drawing is in portrait format. It is organized within a frame drawn in ink. Inscriptions and traces of watercolor, graphite, blue ink and black ink are visible in the margins. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
The theater occupies the lower part of the drawing. It features tiers on two levels, separated by a diazoma. Spectators enter the building. Part of the city can be seen in front of and around the theater. In the background, Monte Barbaro stands out against a blue sky with a few clouds.
