Description

A shallow stream runs across the frame, its dark, still water reflecting light and tree trunks. Rocks and pebbles line the banks at lower left and along the right edge, with a leafy shrub at left and a young plant standing in the water at lower right. Tall slender trunks rise under a dense canopy at right, and a line of printed text sits along the bottom edge.

A MOUNTAIN STREAM. R. St. J. O. Wayne. "This was the most fascinating and exquisite part of the island, and the richer Cypriots flocked here in summer to breathe the cool zephyr blowing from the shady bowers watered by so many limpid rills." Constantius, Archbishop of Sinai - 18th Century (A Pleasant and Brief Cypriad).
