About the piece
Painted in 1874 by Hans Thoma, this oil on canvas work depicts a serene meadow near Bernau. The composition balances the dynamic flow of a small waterfall with the stillness of grazing sheep and quiet figures, all set against the atmospheric backdrop of the Black Forest's rolling terrain. Thoma's masterful handling of the varied greens and the soft, diffuse light creates a sense of deep immersion in the German countryside.
