Description

A stony, grassy slope runs down from the foreground past scattered olive trees and low scrub towards a flat coastal plain. The sea and a curving shoreline fill the background under a pale, overcast sky. A bare trunked tree stands at the left edge, and loose stones cover the ground in the lower part of the view.
