Description, scan 2
Seen through a dark pointed arch in the foreground, a whitewashed courtyard is bounded by a two-storey building with arched openings and a railed balcony on the upper floor. A stone staircase rises along the left-hand wall, and two leafless trees stand on the paved ground. A thick pillar frames the right side of the view.
