About the piece
Painted by Georg Friedrich Kersting in 1812, this quiet interior depicts his friend and fellow artist, the great Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich. The composition captures the meditative nature of the artistic process, with Friedrich leaning on a chair in his minimalist studio, illuminated by soft light from a high window.
