Deutsche Grafik 1890–1903, 1890

The image features a neoclassical building with a colonnaded facade, viewed from a slightly elevated angle. The building is central in the frame, with a mountainous landscape in the distance to the right. Delicate brushwork is used to capture architectural details in fine lines. The color palette is muted, with shades of brown, beige, and gray. In front of the building, a carriage is pulled by horses, and figures are scattered around, alongside lush vegetation.
