Artist, American, born Hungary, 1894 - 1985

This is an image of a rural scene on a dirt road. The viewpoint is close, angled slightly, following two people and a pair of oxen walking to the right. A fence runs parallel to the path on the left, partially obscured by thick foliage. Leafless trees frame the scene, with no visible horizon due to the proximity of the elements and tree density. The black and white photo emphasizes grey and earthy tones for a calm, timeless effect.
