Description

A woman in a light checked dress with a belt stands at a wooden railing on the left, and a man in a jacket, waistcoat, tie, shorts and knee socks stands in a doorway on the right, both under a timber canopy. Behind them are low flat-roofed buildings, stone and mud-brick walls, a small wooden door in a wall, and a few trees under a hazy sky. A thick mud-brick wall block fills the lower foreground.
