Ein Bach unter Weidenbäumen, im Vordergrund ein Kahn mit zwei Figuren, am Ufer dahinter eine sitzende Figur c. 1790 - 1794

"Ein Bach unter Weidenbäumen, im Vordergrund ein Kahn mit zwei Figuren, am Ufer dahinter eine sitzende Figur" by Georg Melchior Kraus, c. 1790-1794, is a delicate and atmospheric depiction of a serene landscape. The composition features a winding river under a sky dominated by soft clouds, with willow trees framing the scene. A small boat, carrying two figures, is the central focus, while a solitary figure sits on the bank in the background. The soft, muted tones and the careful attention to detail give the artwork a calming and contemplative mood, characteristic of Kraus's Romantic style. This drawing is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the beauty of the natural world in a subtle and evocative manner.
