About this work
A group of travelers walks through a forest. The two front travelers choose the road that leads directly to a village in the distance. However, the wind blows a tree down that threatens to block the path. The falling tree could even pose a danger to the two men. The three rear travelers point to a road through the wilderness. Although this path clearly makes a detour, no dangers threaten here. On the back of the print, a Dutch text from the next page.
