Description

A dirt street runs through a village past low plastered houses, a shuttered window and a long wall. In the centre a woman in a wide-brimmed hat stands beside a laden donkey or mule with sacks, and a man in a knitted sweater stands nearby. A small child is partly hidden behind the woman, and dark silhouetted figures stand at the left edge and in the right foreground beside a utility pole.

Description, scan 2
An iron gate with bars stands in the foreground of a village street lined with plastered houses with tiled roofs and low walls. A smiling woman in a hat stands behind the gate beside a donkey with a load, while a man in a knitted sweater stands in the road and a small child peers from the left. A photographer's silhouette fills the right foreground, and a barbed-wire fence runs along the road.
