Landscape
1938

Illustration on a brownish paper depicting a surreal landscape with elongated, bone-like structures that resemble both animal limbs and trees. Some structures stand upright while others arch over the ground. The scene conveys a dreamlike, otherworldly atmosphere, with fine details and shading adding to the eerie effect.
