content: Verso: Landscape sketch showing second half of a panoramic view overlooking the ruins at a village in southern Syria called Burak (also spelled Burraq). Loose stones and rocks are visible in an otherwise empty foreground. In middle distance, structures and perhaps ruins stretch across the landscape, with columns and an arch visible. The mountains of Lebanon form the horizon in the background, visible across a span of relatively flat terrain.
