    "description": "A solitary man sits on gnarled roots and plays the flute. Contrary to first impressions, this is not an uninhabitable place but a retreat of some sort; at the upper right there is a wall and a tall fence. Beyond the man, a cliff-face is rendered primarily by the white of the paper.",
