Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

The image shows a stone well with carvings on a paved plaza. In the distance, a stone bridge spans across the scene with figures walking on it. Beyond the bridge, there are buildings with windows and doorways. The horizon is not visible due to the dominant nearby structures. The artwork has detailed linework and a color palette of subdued sepia tones. Two women are near the well, and birds are sketched in motion.
