Lebensabend – Marianne von Werefkin

The subject of this painting is old age, but Marianne von Werefkin has placed beautiful mountains, trees and a pasture full of sheep, a symbol of abundance. In this way, the artist takes a tender yet resigned look at the end of human existence. Surrounded by majestic nature, the figure in the foreground peacefully contemplates his environment.
