Et in Arcadia Ego

Deutsche Grafik 1750–1790, 1790/1800

The image features a landscape with lush greenery, a central majestic tree, a horizon of tall trees, and structures visible through the foliage. The brushstrokes are detailed, capturing the texture of leaves and the trunk realistically. The color palette includes various shades of green, brown trunks, greyish paths, yellow highlights in the foliage, and a sky in serene blues with white clouds. Cattle graze and two figures rest near the tree, with a classical structure visible in the distance.
