The artwork depicts a view of the courtyard of a mosque through a large archway. The architecture features intricate blue and turquoise tilework, a minaret, and a dome, which are characteristic of Persian and Islamic architectural styles. Two figures in traditional clothing are visible in the courtyard, providing a sense of scale and daily life. The style of the architecture, particularly the detailed tilework, strongly suggests the scene is from a historic Iranian city, such as Isfahan. Many of Andro's works depict similar street and architectural views of Isfahan and other cities in Iran.

The painting is done in watercolor, a medium known for its soft, luminous quality. The artist's use of light and shadow, especially the bright light in the courtyard contrasting with the shaded archway, creates a sense of depth and atmosphere.

The artist's signature, "Andro" (written in Farsi as "آندرو"), is visible in the lower-left corner. See less
