Description

Two pairs of narrow-gauge rails curve down a bare, stony hillside toward the right, with small wagons standing on them near the centre. Cut stone blocks and walls sit on the ridge at the left, and a few figures are scattered along the slope, including one standing close to the rails. The flat, hazy sea fills the right-hand background.
