About the piece
Painted in 1822, this iconic Romantic work depicts the artist's wife, Caroline, in his Dresden studio. Caspar David Friedrich masterfully uses the motif of the open window to explore the relationship between the interior human world and the vast, unreachable outdoors. The stark architecture and muted earth tones create a scholarly, introspective atmosphere typical of 19th-century German art.
