About the piece

Painted in 1862 by Johan Christoffer Boklund, this narrative work captures a moment of leisure for marksmen in Merano. The scene is rich with architectural detail, from the weathered stone fountain and staircase to the wooden balconies draped in greenery, all unified by a dramatic interplay of light and shadow typical of Romantic genre painting.
