Description

A trench cuts diagonally through sandy, stony ground, with a bank of loose earth on the left and a row of large stones lying along its floor in the foreground. Several small figures stand on the far rim near the left edge, and beyond them lie flat fields, a line of wooden stakes, and the sea on the horizon.
