About the piece
Painted in 1875 by Rudolf Hirth du Frênes, this evocative oil on canvas depicts fellow artists Wilhelm Leibl and Johann Sperl aboard a sailing boat. The composition is characterized by its sweeping, overcast sky and the rhythmic texture of the dark water, capturing a moment of quiet focus and companionship on the open sea.
