Title: The Wind and the Sun
Period: 1850-1900;
Geographic: London; United Kingdom; Greece
Description: On the left we see a visual representation of the wind by the figure with loose clothing draped across and appears to be blown back as they try to walk forward. There is lots of foliage in the background as well to suggest a forest scene. On the right we can see the visual representation of the sun shown by the figure leaning up under a tree with the shadow cascading along their body with the left leg stuck out into the sun, which is shown with a brighter value, no hash marks. Besides the tree on the left there is also some foliage in the background of this image as well.
