- Abstract
- View of the top of a dome of a hermitage surrounded by a wall and carved rock. Steps lead up to the entrance to the hermitage from a path in the mountains, and one figure makes his way to the top of the stairs where another figure is resting. Vegetation grows on top of the rock above the hermitage and on the other side of the path, and mountaintops can be seen in the distance.
