Description

A woman in a pale knee-length dress stands at left, one hand raised to her brow against the sun. Three damaged stone sculptures, torso-like with their heads missing, stand on the stony ground in front of two white canvas tents, and the larger tent at right has a dark open entrance. Guy ropes cross the ground, and bare hills stretch behind under a clear sky.
