Description

A courtyard paved with large flat stone slabs leads to a rubble-stone wall with a doorway and a set of steps at its side. A man in a long dark coat stands by the doorway, and several people stand on the flat top of the wall above. On the right a whitewashed house has a tall wooden door, and a domed recess, possibly an oven, is set into the wall; a tree and a hill rise behind.
