Artist, German, born 1938

The image shows a large thatched structure standing on a reflective body of water. The horizon line is positioned below the center of the image, where tall reeds and the structure meet the water. Reeds protrude into the water from both sides of the structure, providing vertical lines that contrast with the horizontal composition of the scene. The image is in black and white, emphasizing texture and form rather than color and highlighting details of the thatch and ripples on the water. The still water reflects the house, creating a serene and balanced composition.
