Description

A stone-built house on the left has a wooden balcony with railings, a tiled roof and a wooden door at ground level. In the centre, a lower building with a wooden door stands behind a dry-stone wall topped with roof tiles. A whitewashed house with a ladder appears at right, white cloths hang and lie in the lower right, and a bare hillside rises behind the village.

Description, scan 2
Stone-built houses with tiled roofs stand in a village, one with a timber balcony and railing on the left. A low dry-stone wall with flat coping runs across the foreground, with cut timber stacked against its base and folded cloth lying on top of it at right. A wooden-doored building and vine-covered roofs sit behind, with a bare hillside under a pale sky.
