Blank signature

René Magritte

In the painting "Blank Signature," a woman in a lavender dress rides a horse through a thick forest of tall, thin, pole-like trees. However, the horse and the woman's body appear in front of some trees and disappear behind others, confusing people's vision. Because the horse and woman are covered by trees, people's eyes keep moving back and forth, trying to figure out if the woman is nearby or further out in the forest.
