Mdina, Malta
With Mdina in the background, the foreground of this Maltese landscape includes various travellers on the road in and out of the city. This includes a woman holding a child by the hand while simultaneously balancing an amphora on her head in a pose reminiscent of classical sculpture, and unlikely to be grounded in reality.
