Description

A pale, winding unsurfaced road curves down a steep, grassy hillside in the foreground toward flat, scrubby lowland. The sea fills the background under a hazy sky, with a small ship visible on the water and a coastline running to the right.

Description, scan 2
A high view looks down over grassy hillsides toward a coastal plain and a calm sea on the left. A pale unpaved road winds in sharp bends down the slope, with scattered fields across the plain. A small ship sits on the water near the shoreline, and a hazy sky fills the top of the frame.
