Description

Five people stand in a row in front of a low stone wall and excavated earth at Vouni: three men in loose trousers, boots and head cloths, and two women in long aprons and headscarves. Several hold long poles or tools, and a dog lies on the wall behind the central figures. Rough ground and a single shrub appear beyond the wall under a pale sky.
