Description

A grassy hillside slopes down in the foreground, where a horse or donkey grazes near the edge with its head lowered. Bare-branched trees stand at the left and a leafy tree frames the right. Below, white houses of the village step down toward a flat plain of fields and scattered trees, with a tall slender tower and the sea on the horizon.
