DUST ROAD, Jules FA Ambroise, France, 1889
A pictorial representation of a dirt road.
Its sandy track emerges from behind the arc, rushing towards the space beyond the picture. Planted with single trees, it runs along the high face of a limestone rock.
The cloudless sky invites the viewer to wander across its rocky surface and see what is hidden behind the slender line of trees.
