DescriptionA figure in profile is walking towards the right using large strides. A tall thin tree that has three branches with three leaves stands behind the man; as if he just passed it. In the lower right corner of the image are the rays of sunlight peeking out from the small hill. The text at the upper center reads: Go West Said a small voice.On View
