About this work

The painting depicts a serene landscape with a sweep-pole well as its central feature. The well is positioned in the middle of the image, surrounded by a flat, open area that stretches out to the horizon. The sky above is filled with clouds, adding to the peaceful atmosphere of the scene. In the foreground, the artist has included some subtle details that add depth and texture to the painting. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the image a sense of movement and energy. The colors used are muted, with shades of green and brown dominating the palette. This painting is a great example of the work of Károly Lotz, an artist known for his landscapes and portraits.
