Alpspitze
c. 1934

A pencil drawing of a rugged mountain landscape with detailed shading, featuring a series of peaks and valleys. In the foreground, there is a small settlement with buildings and trees, suggesting a remote village nestled in the mountains. The artwork is centered on a beige matting, with frayed edges visible around the paper, indicating the piece's age or handling.
