About the piece

Painted in 1813 by German artist Carl Kuntz, this serene oil on panel captures a peaceful moment in the countryside near Karlsruhe. The composition features a rich array of livestock—cows, goats, and a donkey—guided across a rustic stone bridge, all bathed in the warm, luminous light of a clear late afternoon.
