Artist, American, born Hungary, 1894 - 1985

The image shows a black-and-white view of a large domed building atop a hill in the distance, surrounded by smaller buildings. The horizon cuts across below the structure. A road runs alongside a body of water with a horse-drawn carriage and a person on the left side. Leafless trees and the sky filled with clouds are visible on the right side. The scene is somber and moody with various shades of gray.
