Oil on canvas

53,5 x 64,2 cm; 21 by 25¼ in.

M. Fischer, Rudolf Koller, 1828-1905, Zürich 1951, no. 84.

Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute and The William Benton Museum of Art, University of Connecticut, Storrs, Alpine Views: Alexandre Calame and the Swiss Landscape, October 2006-August 2007, pl. 36.

In the late 1850s, probably influenced by the Barbizon School, Rudolf Koller began to sell his studies and met with success. However, unlike his Barbizon contemporaries, Koller chose to give his works a dark varnish, reinforcing the impression of volume and depth in his compositions.
