A horizontally oriented hand-colored lithograph depicts an industrial complex nestled among rolling green and tan hills at night. A gnarled tree with bare branches looms in the left foreground. Factory windows glow with fiery orange light beneath a luminous full moon in a cloudy gray sky. In the lower right, a person with a light skin tone sits on a horse near cattle and a dog. Block text at the bottom identifies the German scene.
