Moderniist landscape with mountain from in Tyrol was executed around 1930s and despite the lack of a signature, it is a typical example of Tyrolian view by German  artist of Impressionism Georg Arnold-Grabone (1896 Munich - 1982 Starnberg). 

He spent his youth on his grandparents' estate in Gerabronn. After returning to his homeland severely wounded from World War I, he discovered his dormant talent. He attended academies in Stuttgart, Munich, Berlin, Vienna, and Paris. He was a student of Max Liebermann, Leo von König, and Heinrich von Zügel. His first awards followed, and in 1930 he accepted a professorship at the Zurich University of the Arts, where he was later appointed rector.

From 1933 to 1937, Georg Arnold lived in Wildenroth and was a member of the Fürstenfeldbruck Artists' Association.

Afterward, Professor Arnold-Graboné had his studio in Tutzing on Lake Starnberg. There he was discovered by the amateur artist and NATO General Eisenhower. The general, who would later become President of the United States, was so impressed by the artist's technique and skill that he flew from Paris to Bavaria twice a week to take painting lessons. Later, Professor Arnold-Graboné was a frequent personal guest at the White House.

Then Winston Churchill invited Professor Arnold-Graboné to the Isle of Man to learn the palette knife technique from him. Many great figures were his friends and students
