Interior of the Temple of Diana at Nimes, unknown date. A series of figures including a traveller, a busy artist seated on a block of stone and various figures wearing classical tunics who, in the case of the one on the right, seem to be acting out an episode to the public. We also see two men dressed as soldiers and in the background inside the temple two figures engaged in some sort of rite or ritual. The interior of the temple is crowded with fragments of columns that have been piled together for storage, as well as capitals, column bases and remains of pediments piled up and arranged, and tombstones leaning against the far wall. Two figures are standing on the roof looking down on the scene and others are peering out between the arcading.
