Description

A man in a wide-brimmed hat, striped open-necked shirt and shorts sits on a high course of large dressed stone blocks and looks at the camera. Behind him a rubble-strewn face of stonework rises, and to the left a flat cleared surface runs along the foot of the stepped blocks. Earth banks and scrubby bushes fill the background under a bright sky.

Description, scan 2: A row of large dressed stone blocks runs diagonally across the picture from lower centre towards the upper right, forming a stepped wall face with loose rubble behind it. A man in a wide-brimmed hat and striped shirt sits on a block at the right, arms resting on his knee. A pale, level surface lies in the foreground on the left, and a rough slope with scrubby vegetation rises behind.
