Description

Stone and rendered buildings stand on a slope, with a row of arched openings in the centre and a wooden ladder leaning against a wall on the left. A low flat-roofed structure with a lattice panel sits above a terrace, and a white bundle lies on a stone bench under the arches. Bushes and trees cover the steep hillside rising behind the houses.

Stone and brick houses with flat roofs stand on a slope, with a row of arched openings in the centre and a wooden ladder leaning against a wall at left. Above them a bare hillside rises with scattered trees and shrubs. A cloth lies on a lower roof, and a large dark jar sits in the lower right corner.
