Artist, Austrian, 1898 - 1978

This print shows a large chalet-style building in a snow-covered landscape. Snow-laden gray mountains loom in the background above the building, the walls of which are colored in brown, pale yellow, and pale green. The pointed roof of the building is covered in snow, as are the roofs of the smaller buildings surrounding it. A red-and-white flag appears to fly from the largest building. A wooden fence is partially visible at the bottom of the print, cutting through the snow and leading toward the building. The sky above is bright blue. The print is surrounded by a border of off-white paper.
