mountain road with figures

oil on wood panel
34 by 50.5 cm., 13 1/2 by 20 in.
The reason this work was painted on a wooden board may have been because it was executed during World War II when there was a shortage of art supplies. Artists improvised by using empty tea crates, which they broke into boards. (Ali 1997, p.90).
