About the piece

Created by a Central European artist around 1800, this oil painting depicts the serene yet wild beauty of a mountain pass. The composition leads the eye from the detailed rocky foreground—where a lone herder tends to goats—along a dark, winding river toward misty, sun-drenched peaks in the distance.
