Overview
Arnold Max Wexler’s 1919 work *Peisaj / Peisaj deltaic* is part of the collection of the Museum of Ethnography. The image presents a tranquil riverside scene, with a line of trees bordering a still body of water that mirrors the surrounding foliage.

The reflective water and subdued palette emphasize a sense of stillness and the subtle cycles of nature.
Technique & Style
Wexler employs loose, fluid brushwork that blends greens, browns, and muted tones in a manner reminiscent of watercolor washes, though the medium is oil. The handling of paint creates soft edges and a gentle diffusion of color, allowing the surface to convey both form and atmosphere without strict detail.
