About the piece

Painted in 1904 by Max Slevogt, a leading figure of German Impressionism, this work depicts a solitary figure and his companion strolling through a forest interior. The composition is defined by its energetic brushwork and the striking contrast between the deep shadows of the foreground and the brilliant, golden light breaking through the canopy in the distance.
