Two broken stone walls rise against a pale sky, one with a shrub growing from its upper face and rough rubble stones at its base. A dark bush fills the blurred foreground at lower left, and a hazy stretch of land lies beyond the ruin to the left. No people are in the view.

Description, scan 2
A ruined stone structure rises against a pale sky, its upper wall broken into two uneven projections. A dense shrub grows out of the masonry on the left, and rubble-stone courses form the lower part. Dark bushes fill the lower left foreground, and the ground beyond fades into haze.
