Description

Four people pose on a rubble-strewn ledge in front of a ruined stone wall with arched openings. A man in a long coat and hat sits at left, a woman in a dark dress holds a cane beside him, and two men stand behind them, one in a light sweater and one in a dark suit and hat. Below, a vaulted arch opens onto a shadowed hollow, and conifer branches frame the right edge.
