About the piece
Created in 1904 by Anton Braith, a leading exponent of the Munich school of animal painters, this work captures the atmosphere of high-altitude pastoral life. The composition focuses on young cattle gathered at a rustic trough, set against the expansive, misty peaks of the Klausen Pass. Braith's technical skill is evident in the luminous handling of light on the animals' coats and the rugged textures of the mountain terrain.
