Description

A tall tree fills the left edge of this distant view across fields toward Peristerona. Houses with flat and tiled roofs stretch across the middle ground behind a low wall, with a group of rounded buildings with conical roofs at the centre and a minaret rising on the left. A road runs off to the right, and the print is mounted on a card with a handwritten label.

A large tree fills the left foreground above a grassy field and a low stone wall. Behind it, flat-roofed houses rise to a cluster of white domed buildings in the centre, with a tall slender minaret at the left and a tower to the right. A road curves along the right edge of the view.
