Abendruhe is a 1901 oil by Ferdinand Hodler, a Symbolism work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
The painting depicts a young woman standing in a field of green grass dotted with yellow flowers. She is dressed in a long, light blue dress that reaches her ankles and has her hands clasped together in front of her chest. Her long, brown hair is pulled back into a braid that falls down her back. The woman stands on a dirt path that winds through the field, with a hill rising up in the background. The sky above is a soft pinkish-purple hue. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of serenity and contemplation. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. The painting is a beautiful example of the artist's skill and attention to detail. To learn more about the artist's work, explore the paintings of Ferdinand Hodler.
