Description:
AD))): In the bottom-right corner of this etching, a wide road with a woman wearing a hat and dress standing statuesque emerges and diverts into two. The thinner of the two paths wraps to the right, out of view behind a two-story house that is positioned prominently, hugging the right frame. The other path continues, left out of the frame and into obscurity. The two points meet and create a fork in the road, dividing the foreground from the town scene with a row of houses and six bare trees on the green. The tips of the branches stretch upwards in front of the buildings, extending into the swirling clouds above. The houses seem eclectically placed, their roofs and windows etched darkly, while the facades remain off-white. This etching is Vlaminck’s artist proof, as denoted in pencil below the image.
