About the piece
Painted in 1815 by Georg Friedrich Kersting, this work depicts historical figures Theodor Körner, Friedrich Friesen, and Heinrich Hartmann during a moment of 'Outpost Duty.' The composition is a masterful example of German Romanticism, emphasizing the quiet, spiritual connection between the individuals and the deep, verdant woods surrounding them.
