DescriptionBlack and white photograph of a jagged rock-faced mountain surrounded along the top and right border of the composition by a hand-painted rendition of a partial human figure (or two) dressed in a red robe and an orange robe, the latter of which featurs checkered decoration. Two hands rest on the top of the mountain’s peak while the bottom of a painted foot (ball and toes), pokes into the lower right foreground.On View
