Description

A cobbled lane climbs between stone houses with pitched roofs of rough layered covering and wooden doors. A ladder leans against the wall of the house at left, and a tree stands at upper right beside a stone-walled terrace. Three people are visible: a man in light clothing and a hat in the middle of the lane, a figure further up, and a partly visible person at lower right.

A narrow stony path runs uphill between old stone houses with roofs of reeds or brushwood, some partly collapsed. A wooden ladder leans against the wall of the house on the left, beside a plank door, and a figure stands on the path in the middle distance. A tree rises at the right above a rough stone retaining wall and scrubby bushes.
