Bathing in the cistern at Machairas
Description
Four people are in the water of a pool dug into the earth and lined with rough stones, with a log along its far edge. A boy in the middle laughs with both arms raised out of the water, and a man in front has bare shoulders. A child in a hat and dress stands at the right edge, watching them, while clothing hangs on the stone wall and a post behind the pool.

- Four people bathe in a shallow stone-lined cistern in a wooded setting, laughing and splashing as they look toward the camera. A child in a light sun hat and short-sleeved dress stands on the rock at the right, watching them. Towels and clothes hang over a dry-stone wall and a branch, and more cloth lies on a flat stone at the edge.
