Description
An unusual subject for Jacoulet — an ox cart in a canyon landscape rather than his characteristic portraiture or figure work. The "Grand Canyon" reference might suggest a visit to the American Southwest, though Jacoulet is not known for extensive American travel; alternatively, this may be a Chinese or Korean canyon landscape with a similar dramatic topography. The ox cart as a subject of rural transport gives the composition a quality of human persistence in a vast geological landscape.
