Description

In the foreground a large mass of squared-off stone has a broad flight of steps cut into its right-hand end, with loose stones and scrub at its base. Behind it a dense group of tall trees, including eucalyptus and a palm, rises above low rocky ground, and a stretch of water lies to the right beyond bare saplings.
