The image shows a view of the Itchan Kala, the walled inner city of Khiva, Uzbekistan. In the foreground, a stone walkway leads towards an arched gateway flanked by two cylindrical towers topped with turquoise and white patterned domes. The gateway is made of brick and has a wooden door. Behind the gateway, a section of the thick, earthen wall of Itchan Kala stretches across the middle ground. To the left of the gateway, a large, cylindrical minaret, known as the Kalta Minor, dominates the scene. This minaret is clad in turquoise glazed bricks with horizontal bands of geometric patterns and Arabic script. To the right of the Kalta Minor and behind the main wall, a building with intricate blue and white tilework is visible. In the left mid-ground, a few people are gathered near a stall selling goods under a solitary tree. Two individuals, one in a patterned skirt and headscarf and another in a white head covering, are walking on the paved ground in front of a small, tan building. The sky above is a clear blue with a few wispy clouds and at least two birds in flight.
