Description

Walls of rubble and large cut stone blocks stand on the right and along the left side of the frame, with a low wall with dressed blocks farther back against a pale sky. In the foreground a worn, flat surface runs diagonally across the picture and casts a long shadow across it. Large stone slabs lie at the lower right edge.

Description, scan 2
Two stone wall faces meet at a corner in the foreground, built of large squared blocks at the base with smaller rubble stones above. A rough, flat surface runs in front of them, with a long shadow falling across it. Further back, a thick wall of cut blocks rises above the walls under a plain pale sky.
