Description

A barren excavated terrace in the foreground holds two long, low stone foundation walls running diagonally across the frame, one in the left foreground and one to the right, both showing cut edges. Beyond them spoil heaps and dug soil lead to a wide valley with hills, scattered trees and a patchwork of cultivated fields under a pale sky.

Description, scan 2: Two long, low stone foundations run across a bare, excavated terrace in the foreground, one diagonal and one horizontal near the centre. Heaps of loose earth lie beside the cut areas. Behind, rounded hills are marked with terraces and cultivated fields, with a few trees scattered among them.
