Artist, German, 1524 - 1561/1566

The image is an etching of a landscape with a view from an elevated perspective showing a village nestled among hilly terrain. The horizon is high in the composition, creating a sense of depth. To the left, a mountain with a castle-like structure on top can be seen. The etching employs precise lines to depict the natural foliage and architecture, including trees and buildings. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of black and gray typical of an etching. Closest to us, there is a waterway with a bridge, and beyond that, the village with half-timbered houses, a mill, and surrounding hills extending towards a mountainous backdrop.
