Artist, German, born 1938

The image shows a rocky landscape with a small, round-roofed structure at the base of a cliff. The cliff dominates the scene, extending beyond the frame to the right. The grayscale color palette emphasizes the textures of the rocks. Trees and shrubs soften the landscape, creating depth. The transition from the rocks to the structure adds contrast.
