- A wide view across dry, scrubby hills with scattered trees and a winding unpaved road cutting across the slopes. A low wall of loose stones runs along the foreground, and the land falls to a broad flat sea on the right, where a small rocky islet sits offshore. Distant mountain ranges fill the left horizon under a pale sky.
