Hans and Verene, plate five from Zehn Blätter zu Hebels Alemannischen Gedichten 1820

"Hans and Verene", a print by Sophie Reinhard, is a depiction of a scene from Johann Peter Hebel's "Alemannische Gedichte". This artwork features a rural couple, Hans and Verene, standing by a well in a pastoral setting. It is part of a series of ten prints, each illustrating a different poem from Hebel's collection. This romantic work was produced in 1820, and is a fine example of Reinhard's talent for capturing scenes of everyday life. The detailed engraving showcases the simplicity of peasant life and the beauty of the natural world.
