Description

Rows of rough stone blocks form a ruined wall on the left, and a distant range of hills rises behind it under a pale sky. A large tree with reddish foliage fills the right side, and a dark bank of bushes lies in the foreground. Two small figures are on the path below, and a tiny boat is visible on the water at the far right.
