In this, and in the image in lot 63 from the temple of Bacchus, it is just possible to see the contrast between the unfluted Corinthian columns of the peripteral colonnade and the remaining examples of the six fluted columns which formed the second row of columns on the porch. In this image more prominence is given to the piled stones and broken fragments in the foreground. These work with the circular shadow above (an effect created typically by a lack of coverage of the lens) to frame and enclose the ruins of the temple.
