Description

A wide view over scrubby, stony ground with low bushes in the foreground and a line of mountains on the horizon. A large white canvas tent stands at the right, with a smaller dark tent at the left edge and a wooden crate nearby. About a dozen people are scattered across the site, and a dark donkey or mule stands beside one figure near the centre, with pale spoil heaps behind.
