Description

An early open car with a folding fabric top stands on a stony, grass-covered slope, its front wheel angled into the ground. A person in a hat sits at the steering wheel, and a bush grows at left against a bare sky. Stones are scattered across the foreground and tall dry grass grows at right.

Description, scan 2
A dark vintage car with a folding soft top and a driver wearing a hat sits in the driver's seat, its front wheel on a rough, stony slope of dry grass. A large bush stands at the left and scrub grows around the lower right, with only sky above and behind the car, so no mountain ridge is visible.
