- Curving stone wall courses of the theatre at Soli run across the foreground, beside a deep excavated trench. Beyond, a cutting with a stepped face and heaps of excavated earth stretch back, where small figures of workers stand and stoop among the spoil. Bare hills and a few small trees fill the skyline.
