Description

Large tree trunks and dark branches frame the foreground on both sides. Beyond open, bare ground and a flat strip of water, several buildings stand in the middle distance, including a two-storey house with a lower wing and a whitish building at left, with palm trees among them. The sky above is pale and open.

Two large tree trunks with dense branches frame the picture on the left and right. Beyond an open area of bare, stony ground runs a low wall, behind which stand a white two-storey building, a single-storey house with a veranda, and palm trees under a pale sky.
