Men leaning on spades at the house construction at Vouni
Description
Two men in light shirts and dark baggy knee-length trousers lean on long-handled spades in loose, stony soil. Behind them a stone building with a small window stands near a tree, and at least two more people work by its wall and steps at the right. A pale animal, possibly a dog, lies at lower left, and a low bench is visible in the distance.
