View on Bancoote River, in the Concan : taken from Dazagon Hill

Abstract
Taken from the top of a hill near the hot wells of Dazagon, a view of a river meandering through an extensive valley, forming a number of islands populated by vegetation and small buildings. Several sailboats are in the water and mountain ranges are in the distance. In the foreground, two men with rifles and a dog rest under a tree at left and several figures stand at the water's edge at right, with cattle resting nearby.
