Artist, German, 1868 - 1932

This is a drawing of a desert scene. The image shows a group of riders and their mounts in motion, against a textured background. Several animals, possibly camels, are depicted racing forward with riders on their backs. The drawing is done in a loose, expressive style, with energetic lines that convey movement. The figures show determination and focus. Shadows and shading are used to give form to the figures, while the background remains minimalistic.
