Associated Names
August Sander

Artist, German, 1876 - 1964

This image shows a landscape with sparse trees and hilly terrain. The view is from slightly elevated ground. The horizon is visible, with distant hills, but it is not clearly defined due to layers of overlapping trees and undulating land. Three tall, slender pine trees stand out against the sky. They are surrounded by more trees and hills in the background. The sky is overcast with clouds, giving the scene a gray tone. The color scheme is monochromatic, highlighting light and shadow contrasts, textures, and forms in the landscape.
