Artist, German, 1879 - 1944

The image is a coastal scene with a shoreline curving towards mountains in the distance. The sky is teal, and the sea matches this color. There is a slight glow on the horizon. Bold black brushstrokes define natural and man-made features such as houses with reddish-brown roofs surrounded by greenery. A town with buildings in earth tones is seen by the coast. Mountains in the background frame the scene. The color palette includes blues, greens, and earth tones. The technique adds texture to the image.
