An antique landscape painting in a golden frame depicting a peaceful rural setting with large trees, a small hut, a lake with a stork, a winding path and a mother with her child in traditional dress. The background shows gentle mountains under a sky with soft clouds. The painting was painted by Georg Wein in 1883 and bears the artist's signature at the bottom and a dedication by the artist on the reverse.

19th century oil paintings often reflect people´s deep longing for security, beauty and a peaceful world. The natural landscapes show their beauty and majesty with powerful colors. The paintings of that time leave room for romantic feelings and sentimentality. The artist of the time gave people a sense of just be happy and content with yourself and the world.
