Titled "Passante II," this work depicts a park path winding toward the left with trees lining the path on the right. A figure walks past the trees and two people sitting on a bench near the center of the work. Signed to the lower right, the print is titled to the lower center and numbered 135/150 to the lower left. The work is displayed in a black and silver tone wooden frame and a fabric-lined mat.
