Theophil H. de Bock DUTCH: 1850-1904
A COUNTRY ROAD
Height, 14½ inches; length, 22½ inches
A sandy road in which the wagons have made deep ruts, curving away from the middle foreground, is lost between low grassy banks near a cottage in the middle distance, where a single figure is seen. On either side of the road are low, broken slopes, partly covered with grass, and on the summits of these slopes, on either side, grow large trees with heavy foliage, which are in strong contrast against a sky filled with gently floating sunlit summer clouds. Beyond the cottage is a view across a level meadow to a distant low horizon.
