The theatre at Soli
Description
Four people stand in the foreground on pale rocky ground, a girl in a headscarf and three boys in caps and dark or light work clothes. Behind them a wooden wheelbarrow stands near a person bending over, and further back a man and a small figure are visible on the slope. The hillside rises behind, with scrubby bushes, a rounded hill and a flat farmland valley beyond.

- A woman in a headscarf and long dress stands in front of a wooden cart among scattered rough stones, with two young men in caps and shirts beside her. A man in a light shirt and short trousers stands further back on the left, and another figure bends behind the cart. Behind them a rounded hill, low shrubs and cultivated fields spread across a dry, open landscape.
