Excavation near Larnaca
Description
Rocky, sun-bleached ground slopes down toward a calm sea and a pale horizon under a blue sky. On the left, several figures sit and stand among stones and low cuttings, some in light clothing and hats, apparently digging. A large white tent stands beside a spreading tree on the right, and a standing figure walks near the tent. Three or four goats graze in the foreground.
English
A watercolour landscape of a dig on open ground near the sea, with a group of workers seated and working on the left and a large white tent beneath a tree on the right. Goats graze in the foreground.
