This painting shows a desert scene with old stone buildings and palm trees. In the foreground, two people sit on rocks near a stick. The sky is pale, and the ground looks dry. A river runs behind the ruins, with boats floating on it. The artist made the ruins look ancient and worn. The colors are soft and faded, like a quiet, dusty day. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like this.
