And here is a jewel of a painting, also from Caspar David Friedrich's period prior to 1824. While it must have been pretty easy for him to paint it as its execution would not seem to present any unsurmountable difficulty, it nevertheless possesses most impressive features to the average viewer. Here the symbolism is pretty obvious and I will not provide any explanation of it, rather, I invite our visitors to verify it on their own. Also, it is a subject that has been favored by several other artists including, in more recent times, Salvador Dali.

Woman at a Window (1822, oil on canvas)

This wonderful picture is even better than appears. I was looking at some other sites and checked this painting while I was there. It appears that most of the copies on the webb are like tghis one, but, the googleart copy is brilliant in colour. The shame is I can't find a way to copy it and bring it here.
