About the piece

Painted in 1863, this work by Hans Thoma captures the idyllic serenity of the Bernau Valley. Two children are nestled in the long grass, surrounded by masterfully rendered trees and the soft light of early morning, embodying the quiet beauty of the Black Forest region with a warm, naturalistic palette.
