About the piece
Painted by Ernst Meyer around 1835, this charming oil work captures a quiet moment of friendship between a child and a donkey. The pair rests in the dappled shade of a large rock and tree, with a rustic basket and grapes scattered nearby, evoking a peaceful, pastoral atmosphere characteristic of the era's genre painting.
