Description

A view across a stony, bare open field towards a row of whitish houses with flat and tiled roofs, palm trees and cypresses. A tall minaret and a tower rise on the left. Small figures, possibly a few people and a dog or animal, are near the house on the right, and a dividing crack runs down the middle of the print.

Description, scan 2
Dry, open ground fills the foreground, with a row of houses and palm trees behind it. Some houses are white-walled with arched balconies and tiled roofs, and a minaret and a tower rise on the left skyline. At the right, a low house has steps to its doorway, with a few small figures and an animal nearby.
