General view of the island = Niezohrn
The view shows a collection of patterns, symbols, heads, music notes and texts typical of Wölfli, which represent a fictional island in this drawing, which he pretends to visit as the leader of a group of people. Adolf Wölfli created a unique artistic universe in a small cell at the psychiatric clinic in Waldau near Bern.
