Theatre at Soli, before excavation
Description
A grassy, sloping hillside at Soli with a long dry-stone wall running across the middle distance, a low mound behind it, and a few bushes and trees. In the foreground a group of people stands and sits on the slope: two women in long dark dresses, one with a white headscarf, several children, and a boy in dark trousers. A seated boy in a light shirt holds a stick, and a few more figures in light clothing stand at the far right edge.
