Artist, Dutch, 1898 - 1972

The image depicts a landscape seen from an elevated, slightly angled perspective. Layered terraces recede into the distance intersected by walls and structures. The horizon is not clearly visible. In the center, there is a white, angular building contrasting with the surrounding dark, textured landscape. The scene is created using dense, cross-hatched brushstrokes to convey depth and shadow. The color scheme is monochromatic with shades of black, white, and grey. Trees and vegetation are dispersed throughout the composition, creating a cultivated yet surreal terrain.
