A Dalmatian 1841

"A Dalmatian" (1841) by Rudolf von Alt depicts a lively scene on a waterfront. The watercolor painting showcases a group of figures, likely dressed in traditional attire, gathered near a boat. The composition is characterized by warm tones and meticulous detail, typical of Alt's style. The scene suggests a narrative, perhaps a departure or arrival, further emphasized by the inclusion of a distant boat on the water. This artwork is representative of the genre of genre painting, providing a glimpse into everyday life and regional traditions during the 19th century.
