Description

A cobbled courtyard is framed by two arched openings in a whitewashed wall under a tiled roof. A ladder leans against the wall at left beside several large round-bodied jars, and a few people sit in the shadow of the arches. At right, a stone-built wall holds a small arched recess that could be an oven, though this cannot be confirmed from the photograph.

A cobbled courtyard is framed by two tall arches of a whitewashed building with a tiled roof. Large earthenware storage jars stand at the left, a ladder leans against the wall, and a domed stone oven with an arched mouth fills the right edge. Three people sit or stand in the shaded arched recess, and a few small objects hang on the walls.
