Marsden Hartley traveled to the Bavarian Alps between September 1933 and March 1934, making his way from Hamburg south to the village of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. He created a series of drawings during this trip, including the present work, focusing on the geometries and lines of the immense mountains that awed him on these travels.
