Strawberry Season (Erdbeerenzeit) more
people, children, women, woods, forests, trees, steeples, hills, rural, harvest, colour
Children with an adult, perhaps their mother, carrying small baskets and filling them with strawberries they are picking in the woods. Actually they look more like flowers than berries to me, and the wild strawberries i have seen are much smaller.
In this colour painting from around 1903 we see the children wearing aprons, the tree trunks, and beyond, open countryside, probably farmland, a tower, a distant church spire and perhaps a small village, and, further some hills.
The original painting reproduced here is signed E. L. Hoes (or Höeß)s, which is, Eugen Ludwig Hoess (1866 to 1955).
