About this work
Architectural fantasy. A framework of beams and posts/piers of a building without walls and roof. Tree branches and small bushes grow or project from the structure. In the foreground, at right, is a large scale mortar, placed on a horizontal pedestal. In the far distance, at left, two small scale figures are standing next to one of the posts/piers.
