Theatre at Soli: large profile begun on Terr III
Description
About twenty workers, most in hats and shirts, stand and bend along a stony terrace, some holding spades or picks. The ground is strewn with loose stones and rubble, with scrub and bushes on the flatter land behind and the sea forming a pale band along the horizon.

- A line of men stands and bends across a stony, scrubby hillside, several of them digging into the ground with tools in the foreground. Others stand holding long poles toward the right. Beyond them lie low shrubs, a few small buildings, and a wide flat sea under a pale sky.
