The Apparition in the Forest is a 1823 paint by Moritz von Schwind, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a woman in a long, white dress standing in a forest. She has long hair and is wearing a crown of flowers. Her right arm is outstretched, and her left arm is bent at the elbow. A man on horseback is looking at her. He is wearing a hat and holding a bow and arrow. The background is a forest with trees and bushes. The woman seems to be floating above the ground, and the man is looking at her with a mixture of surprise and curiosity. The painting has a dreamlike quality to it, with soft, muted colors and delicate lines.
