This is Broders' most ambitious and sophisticated landscape. It is a masterpiece of perspective and composition in which he skillfully presents four separate fields of depth: The couple and the rocks along the hiking trail, the silhouette of the trees, the village, and the distant mountains. Broders p. 70, Perry / Broders p. 59, Hillion p. 216.
