Description
Landscape image of a heavily weathered cobblestone retaining wall for an aqueduct. A figure stands atop some of the stones, in front of a horse dressed in a work harness for pulling. There is a path cut through the wall, as if for a road. A large oak tree is in the foreground to the left, with a hillside and more oaks in the background.
