Description

A view framed by the dark curve of a stone arch, looking out over a village of white flat-roofed houses set among dense trees on a hillside. A steep rocky slope rises on the left, and beyond the village a wide flat plain stretches to a hazy horizon under a cloudy sky. A slender tall tower stands among the houses near the centre.

Description, scan 2: A dark pointed arch frames a view down over a hillside village of flat-roofed white houses among dense trees. Terraced slopes of a mountain rise on the left, and a tall slender tower and a building with a square tower stand on the right above a wide flat plain that stretches to the horizon. The foreground shows a rough stone-surfaced terrace and the inner wall of the arch.
