Moonrise (Evening at the Corrall) is a 1899 oil by Béla Iványi-Grünwald, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
The painting depicts a serene scene of a woman standing by a fence, gazing out at a herd of cattle. The woman is dressed in a long, dark coat and a hat, while the cattle are gathered in a corral. The background of the painting features a vast, open landscape with a few trees and a body of water in the distance. The painting is rendered in muted colors, with shades of brown and gray dominating the palette. The overall effect is one of calmness and tranquility, with the woman and the cattle appearing to be at peace in their surroundings. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. For more information on this technique, look up chiaroscuro.
