Description: On a green hill at the edge of a valley stands a lady dressed in a white gown. All alone, she reflects the tranquillity of the moment. The valley, which stretches out almost endlessly behind her, offers a view of fields, meadows and forests. The bright sunlight and the slightly cloudy blue sky also create an atmosphere of freedom and endlessness.
