Description

Bare, stony ground fills the foreground, with scattered low stones and a few paving slabs. On the right, a rounded arch and a broken masonry wall rise above the ground. In the middle distance, several slender columns stand in a row, with dark trees and scrub along the horizon under a pale, cloudy sky.

English
