Description

A man stands in a dark doorway between whitewashed houses with flat roofs in a courtyard. A small window sits in the wall above a wooden balcony with a railing, and a domed bread oven stands at the left beside a pile of cut branches. The roofs are covered with brushwood and poles, and a wooden gate is propped open at the right.

Description, scan 2
Whitewashed, flat-roofed houses line a sunlit courtyard. A small window sits high in the wall on the left, and a white wooden balcony projects above a dark doorway. A man in a light shirt and dark trousers stands in the doorway at the centre, beside a wooden gate, with a pile of brushwood at the left edge.
