Description

A car with a folding canvas roof sits tilted on a grassy bank, its rear wheel raised and a spare tyre mounted on the back. A man in a cap and jacket leans into the open driver's side, and a person in a long coat and hat stands at the right edge with their back to the camera. Behind them are a stone building wall, bare trees and hills.
