The lively rural scene in The Two Horsemen and Two Girls with Flowers, painted by Wilhelm von Kobell
This composition depicts a bucolic encounter in motion, where two horsemen cross paths with two young girls carrying bouquets, captured with a soft and harmonious palette. Earthy ochres contrast with luminous touches on fabrics and flowers, while a precise treatment of the sky and foliage creates atmospheric depth.
