Description

Looking down from a rocky mountain path over a wide plain dotted with trees, a coastal town and a flat sea with a ship on the horizon. In the foreground a person in a headscarf and dark clothing stands beside a donkey loaded with folded blankets or sacks on a stony track. A stone retaining wall runs along the slope on the right, and tall conifers and shrubs frame the view.

Description, scan 2
A steep rocky slope rises on the right, with a stony path climbing beside it. A person in a headscarf leads a dark donkey carrying a folded light-coloured cloth along the path. On the left, pines and other trees frame a wide plain running down to a town on the coast, with a ship on the sea beyond.
