About the piece

Painted in 1883 by Joseph Wenglein, this work depicts women collecting limestone from the bed of the Isar river near Tölz. The composition is defined by its masterfully rendered sky, where shifting light and shadow create a sense of vastness and atmosphere over the quiet labor in the riverbed below.
