Curatorial comment:
The bird stands on a flat rock by the water. In the background is a hilly landscape with two people possibly carrying wood (?), a man herding three bullocks (?), a grove of palm trees, and a temple with two towers or gopurams. | L’oiseau perche sur un rocher plat au bord de l’eau. À l'arrière-plan, paysage vallonné, deux personnes portant peut-être du bois (?), homme menant trois bouvillons (?), bosquet de palmiers et temple avec deux tours ou gopuras.
