A romantic work by the artist, who in this cabinet painting combines a realistic depiction of figures with an impressive atmosphere of light, captured in an Impressionist style. The artist studied at the art school in Weimar from 1866 to 1871, where he became a professor in 1882. In 1889, he moved to Munich and joined the local Secession in 1893.
