Artist, German, born 1935

The image shows a man seated on a twisted, gnarled branch of a tree. His entire body is visible, and he is sitting on the branch in a side view, with his hands resting on his legs and looking downward. The man's facial features are partially obscured, but his head is tilted downwards. He has short hair. He is dressed in a loose-fitting, light-colored outfit, which contrasts with the dark, intricate textures of the tree bark and foliage around him. There are no visible accessories or objects in his hands. The background consists of a natural setting with dense foliage and a body of water partially visible in the top left.
