Artist, German, 1867 - 1945

The image shows a group of figures standing under tall, bare trees in a landscape. The horizon is visible just above the center of the composition with sparse small structures or foliage. The art style includes dark, dense strokes and a high contrast palette of deep browns and blacks against a lighter background. The strokes are expressive and scratchy, adding texture and movement. The figures are in shadow and appear in a silhouette-like manner, blending with the trees around them.
