Description

Seen through a large arched opening in the foreground, a dusty village square at Kalavassos runs back to houses, a tall minaret and several trees. A group of about thirty men and boys stands in a loose line near the middle, with a man in the left foreground carrying a long object over his shoulder. A low arcaded building and a shaded stall stand at the right edge.

A dark pointed stone arch frames a dusty open square. A minaret rises above low houses on the left, and a man at the left edge carries a long pole over his shoulder. A large group of men and boys stands in a line in front of an arcaded building on the right, with more figures scattered across the square and a lean-to structure beside them.
