Description

A woman in a sleeveless top and light trousers sits on a large stone block at the left foreground, her legs crossed and her face turned toward the right. Behind her a long colonnade of tall columns with carved capitals recedes into the distance over a paved walkway. A few small figures stand among the columns, and a broken column rises on the right, with bushes and trees beyond under a pale sky.
