Wilhelm Leibl

Artist, German, 1844 - 1900

The image displays an old house partially hidden by leafless trees. The view is from slightly below the horizon at eye level, with the horizon aligning with the upper part of the house. The artistic style features detailed cross-hatching and linear strokes creating texture in the trees and roof. The color scheme is monochromatic, using black and white to show contrast and depth. Trees are in the foreground, followed by the house as the focal point. In the background, thin trees extend out of view, adding to the light and shadow interplay.
