Artist, Dutch, born 1959

The image shows a landscape with two large triangular mounds, or slag heaps, in the center. The background features the horizon placed high in the frame. The color palette is mainly sepia tones, and the foreground depicts a plowed field with visible furrows. In the distance are trees at the base of the mounds. The composition has smooth gradients of brown and subtle textures. The sky above is plain and unbroken, contributing to the sense of openness and expanse.
