Description

A narrow excavated trench runs diagonally through the frame, its sides cut into pale rock and rubble. On the right, a heap of rough stones and rock rises above the cutting, and on the left a bank of loose soil slopes down. In the background a hazy plain stretches toward distant hills under a pale sky.
