About the piece
Created in 1885 while Theodore Clement Steele was studying in Munich, this work exemplifies the Barbizon-inspired tonalism of the Hoosier Group's early period. The composition focuses on the Dachau Moor, where figures can be seen working the land near a reed-lined river, all rendered with a soft, diffused light that creates a sense of profound stillness.
