Description

A wide view down a valley between hills whose slopes are marked by terraces and scattered vegetation. A winding road curves across the lower left, and a small village with clustered houses lies on the valley floor toward the centre. A single tiny figure stands on a path near the middle of the valley, under a pale, empty sky.
