About the piece
Painted in 1844, this early work by Gustave Courbet exemplifies the Romantic influences of his youth. The painting, titled 'Lovers in the Country,' features the artist himself alongside a companion, rendered with dramatic chiaroscuro that emphasizes their shared intimacy against a brooding, twilight sky.
