Description

Stepped rows of stone seats climb across the right side of the frame toward a low wall. On the left, excavated walls and scattered stones lie in dry ground, with a row of upright columns further back. Trees and a strip of sea sit under a partly cloudy sky. Three people stand near the bottom left edge.

English

Rows of stone seats rise in tiers on the right of the theatre at Salamis, near Famagusta. Walls and fallen column stumps lie in the foreground and background, with the sea and trees beyond. Three people stand at the bottom left.
