- An elevated view over the excavation of the theatre at Soli. Curved rows of stone tiers run across the right foreground, while walls and rubble mounds stretch through the middle ground. About fifteen people stand and work among the walls, a white tent stands near the centre, and beyond lie a coastline with buildings and small ships on calm water.
