Far Away Thoughts 

"Far Away Thoughts" is a painting by Eugene de Blaas, a prominent Austrian artist known for his genre paintings of women. The artwork depicts a young nun, likely in a convent setting, gazing out of a window as birds fly past. Her pensive expression, along with the evocative background, suggests a theme of contemplation and longing. The muted color palette adds to the melancholy mood, drawing viewers into the nun's private world of thought. De Blaas's meticulous detail and skillful rendering of the figure, architecture, and birds, makes this piece an exemplary example of 19th-century realism.
