The picture shows the hilly landscape around Szentendre, the slopes of Pismányi-valley. The master is engaged in transforming the landscape and questions of how to project them into planes of forms. He prepared himself for the metamorphosis: "... you can force a large-scale landscape into a plane by arranging events of space into a scattering order of lines instead of convergent lines ..." (Form and Space). Bunches of lines converge until the second third of the picture and the horizon is closed down by mountains stretching out horizontally. Disatances appear to be shorter, colours of close and far away are of identical value and contours are of even thickness - the result is a peculiar perpective: space is forced into a plane.
