DescriptionA young couple rides on a covered wagon pulled by two animals across a green and yellow prairie. The woman, her face bathed in sunlight, clutches a white handkerchief to her chest as she stares into the distance. The shadowed man to her right sits with his elbows on his knees, staring off into the cloudy blue sky.Collections
