Harald Schumacher, Landscape With Forest & Nun

Harald Schumacher, Landscape With Forest & Nun

A charming 19th-century landscape painting depicting a nun holding a bible as she walks through a wooded area. The artist, Harald Schumacher (1836-1912), has captured a quiet moment of contemplation within a picturesque rural setting.

The painting is monogrammed in the lower right and housed within a later vintage frame.

Conservation & History

We care profoundly about our role as custodians and every piece in the collection has been assessed by our conservator. When required, we undertake professional restoration carefully using reversible techniques and adopt a light touch to retain the aged charm of each work. We also restore frames rather than replace them as many are original and selected by the artists themselves.
