Marie Krafft am Schreibtisch 1830

Johann Peter Krafft's 1830 painting "Marie Krafft am Schreibtisch" depicts his wife Marie seated at a desk in a domestic interior, gazing out the window towards a garden. The intimate scene, executed with meticulous detail, is characteristic of Krafft's genre paintings, often featuring his family members in domestic settings. The light streaming in through the window illuminates the space, highlighting the figure of Marie in her white dress and casting subtle shadows.
