Description

A large bare tree with thin branches stands at the right, beside a long low stone wall with a wooden beam resting across it. A child in a light garment stands at the left against the wall, and a second person sits on a small stone ledge further back. Dirt ground, scattered stones and a pale sea horizon with a few low buildings complete the view.

Description, scan 2
A bare-branched tree fills the right side of the view, its trunk rising beside a low stone wall with a plank laid across a channel. A child in a light garment stands at the left edge, and another sits on a stone bench in the middle distance. Small whitewashed buildings and a grey animal lie beyond on dry open ground, with the sea on the horizon.
