In his paintings, Heinrich Tomec (1863-1928) deals especially with the colors of autumn. Warm and rich tones characterize his landscapes, as well as the present pastureland, which is determined by an atmospheric lighting. With its typical loose brushstrokes, this painting is a fine example of the plein air painting.
