Description

A tree with spreading branches fills the left foreground, and beyond it a dense mass of shrubs and trees runs across the middle distance. Several low, flat-roofed buildings sit among the greenery of the village. Pale, eroded hills rise behind the houses, with a sloping ridge on the right and a clear sky above.
