Description

Ruined walls of a monastery built of cut stone blocks, with a row of pointed arches and a window with stone tracery in the middle. In the foreground a grass-covered courtyard with a narrow paved path runs along the right-hand wall, and low shrubs grow along the wall bases. Hills rise in the distant background, and a tall thin tree stands at the left edge.

Tall stone piers stand in a row on the right, with pointed arches and a window with stone tracery opening onto a grassy court on the left. A paved path runs along the foot of the piers, with dark bushes and a low wall beyond. Distant hills show above the ruined walls.
