Description

Several people gather among weathered stone blocks in the foreground: a boy in a striped jumper sits at front left, and a girl sits on a rock to the left. A woman in a white headscarf sits in the centre, while others stand and stoop around a large carved capital on a column drum. Behind them, slender columns stand in the distance under a dark pine tree and a bare sky.

English

Visitors and children sit and stand among ruined stone blocks at Salamis, with fluted columns and a carved capital behind them. A man in a dark suit stands on the right beside a tall pine tree.
