Description

A dusty unpaved street runs into the distance between whitewashed buildings with shuttered windows, one with a barred window, on the left. A wooden utility pole carries electric wires at the left edge, and tall palm trees rise above a high plastered wall on the right. A small dark figure, possibly a donkey with a load or a person, stands by the wall in the middle distance.
