Born in Vienna in 1812 Karl Rahl had turned at a young age of history painting, scoring in the 19th century the most important representatives of this subject. After his education at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, as well as study trips to Munich and Stuttgart, he was the end of 1836 in Rome where he lived with few interruptions until 1850th The reason for this move was to meet the desire, the works of the Italian Cinquecento painting in the original and to study. The number of portraits and paintings with historical, mythological and allegorical content that Rahl in Rome (and then in the years in Vienna) created is substantial, their content and titles by listing his works in various publications mostly known. The more interesting it is, the painter with the present painting from another site to get to know. The illustration shows a southern mountain range, are engaged in women with laundry and bleaching. In the middle of the picture is a young man who looks straight out of the picture at the viewer. He is in his shirtsleeves and wearing a big straw hat on his head, obviously has nothing to do with the women's group, but represents a pose to be held against the beautiful landscape - as if he would stand in front of a photographer. Where this scene plays is not known with certainty but it is likely that it originated on one of the hikes in the surrounding area of ​​Rome. The sitter could be a colleague or a friend of the painter thus, took part in this trip. The small format, but above all let the sketchy version assume that the image was begun on site and completed. Despite the rapid Malvorganges the spatial depth of view is given, as well as the distribution in proportion to the figures. Rahl relied solely on the brush, the pre-mixed on the palette colors sat side by side and specifically considers gave form and shape. Fleet, rapid strokes characterize scenery and figures (for the shadow of the man sufficed a bar quickly back and retracted), thickly applied, light shades give the impression that the sunlight model the forms. This view provides, together with the two small landscape sketches, which owns the Austrian Gallery Belvedere, an important contribution to early creative Rahl. It is interesting to realize that the history painter Rahl, if only for a short time, the problem of conversion of light and air shows in the picture an open mind.
