Two saptiena outside a tent at Vouni
Description
Two men in military-style jackets, short trousers, knee wraps and boots sit close together outside the open flap of a large white tent. Each wears a dark brimless cap and holds a long rifle, looking down at it. Behind them a bare slope rises, with a tree at the top left, a shrub at the left edge and taut guy ropes crossing the frame.

- Two men in dark caps, military-style jackets, puttees and boots sit side by side at the open flap of a tall canvas tent, with rifles across their knees. Bushes grow at the left edge, and a bare, stony slope rises behind them. Large pale stones lie in the foreground and a small box stands by the bushes.
