This work was created by the German landscape painter Heinrich Gogarten in 1883. Gogarten studied at the Düsseldorf Academy under the renowned landscape painter Oswald Achenbach. His mostly wintry motifs are characterized by an effective use of light. The image presented here shows a winter landscape with river and adjoining birch grove. A narrow path winds its way through the field, on which some of the figures walk along. The overcast sky opens up at the horizon and lets the setting sun's last rays shine through, creating a quite outstanding evening atmosphere.



The painting is signed and dated ‘H. Gogarten 1883’. Small retouched spot at the bottom left, otherwise overall of good preservation. The stretcher measures 55 x 75 cm. The framed dimensions are 69 x 89 cm. The frame shows slight signs of use.
