Description

A deep valley runs from the foreground into the distance between bare, scrubby hills. Clusters of low houses with flat or thatched roofs sit on the slopes at left and right, and trees fill the valley floor. A small dark upright figure stands on a path near the centre, and a track winds up the far hillside.
