Artist, German, 1867 - 1956

The image shows a church building with a tall tower, a large tree beside it, the sloping roof of the main building, a stone wall, a narrow path, trees, and structural details. The etching exhibits bold and expressive brushstrokes, defining the architectural elements and the tree with a stark contrast against the sky. The color palette is primarily black and beige, creating an antiquated and monochromatic feel.
