Description

A man in a striped jacket, white shirt and dark trousers sits on a carved stone block with one leg crossed over the other, looking toward the camera. Behind him rises a long curved wall of rectangular stone blocks with stepped seating courses at its base, under heavy clouds. The ground in the foreground is bare and sandy, and the man's shadow falls across it to the left.

English
