Encounter by the Garden Fence is a 1796 chalk by Balthasar Anton Dunker, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting, Encounter by the Garden Fence, shows a woman standing by a garden fence. She's wearing a long dress and has her hair covered. The fence is made of wood and has some plants growing around it. The woman is looking at something outside the picture. The painting is done in red chalk on paper, which gives it a soft, warm look. The artist has used gentle lines and shading to create a sense of calmness. If you like this painting, you might also want to check out other works by Dunker, Balthasar Anton.
