Roman ruins at Soloi
Description
An olive tree with spreading branches fills the right side of the scene. Two figures, a man in a red cap and a woman in a dark dress, stand near its trunk with a small dog. Goats and sheep are scattered across the rocky foreground and the flat middle distance, and a rounded hill rises under a pale sky.
English
A shepherd and his wife stand beside an olive tree while their flock grazes over the plain where the ruins of Soloi lie, with the mountain of Vouni in the distance.
