The theatre at Soli
Description
Curved tiers of cut stone seating rise in concentric rows across the upper part of the picture, with a flat paved area in the lower right. Several loose stone blocks lie along the edge of the tiers and where the seating meets the level area. The stone is weathered and pitted, and the ground above the seating is rough, bare earth.

- Concentric rows of worn stone steps curve across the frame from the left toward the right, rising away from a flat, pale paved area in the lower right. Several loose blocks of stone lie among the lower steps. The upper slopes and ground behind the seating are rough and earthen, and the stonework looks eroded and partly buried.
