Aerial view of the entrance to the town of Xanthos. The drawing is unfinished. The drawing is in portrait format. It is organized within a frame drawn in ink. Traces of watercolor are visible in the margins. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
The town is set within a fortified enclosure, punctuated by towers. The town gate can be seen in the lower left-hand corner. It is overlooked by the monument to the Nereids. This is a funerary monument in the form of an Ionic temple. The Lycian acropolis can be seen in the distance.
