Corinthian columns of the Salamis Gymnasium Palaestra
Description
Tall columns with carved Corinthian capitals stand in a long row that recedes toward the back of the image, with a single taller column in the right foreground. Their shadows fall across the bare ground. Behind them are low stone walls, scattered fallen blocks and dark trees under a clear sky.
