About the piece
Painted in 1866 by Wilhelm Porttmann, this luminous oil painting depicts a lively scene in the French Alps. A group of travelers with goats and pack animals traverses a sun-drenched mountain pass, anchored by a small white wayside shrine and set against the majestic backdrop of a towering limestone peak.
