Countryside, 1988 by Roberta Fineberg is a black-and-white documentary-style portrait of a French woman in the countryside. In northeast France, in the Haute-Marne, the subject is photographed against a backdrop of fresh-cut hay.
Far from Paris many French maintain deep connections to the land - owning often an ancestral home in the countryside, rustic and rooted in the agrarian.
Countryside is an 11" x 14" gelatin silver print (analog/film) in an edition of 5. The photograph is signed, titled with the edition number on recto by the artist.
