About the piece

Painted in 1855 by Josef Mánes, this work captures a moment of intimate repose amidst a wide golden landscape. The striking red of the parasol creates a brilliant focal point against the moody, shifting blues and grays of a summer storm front, beautifully exemplifying the Romantic era's fascination with nature's temperament and human emotion.
