The Theatre at Soli
Description
The view is framed by the open flaps of a tent, with a central tent pole dividing the picture. Beyond, dry ground with scattered shrubs and a lone tree on the left leads to a line of trees and a distant shore, where several small boats float on the sea. A few buildings sit on the far right, and a low rectangular block lies in the foreground.
