Description

A dirt track runs up a village street between a tall dry-stone wall of rough stones on the left and pale buildings on the right. A flight of stone steps rises beside a whitewashed wall, and a leaning bare tree stands in the middle of the lane. A low building with a shuttered window and a rounded stone structure sit at the right edge, with bare branches overhead under a pale sky.

Description, scan 2
A dirt track runs up through the frame between a tall dry-stone wall on the left and low buildings on the right. A whitewashed building with a wooden door and a shuttered window stands behind the wall, with a flight of steps beside it. A bare leafless tree leans across the centre of the street, and a curved stone structure sits at the right edge beside the track.
