About the piece

Created around 1795 by Martin Drölling, this exquisite painting captures a young woman in a moment of quiet reflection within an 'English Garden' setting.

The composition features hallmarks of the period, including rustic architecture and a meticulously rendered landscape that emphasizes a return to nature.
