Artist, Swiss, 1865 - 1925

This is a painting of three figures in water under a sunburst sky. The image depicts a scene where three figures appear to be in a body of water, illuminated by the sun with rays extending across the sky. The outline and features are rendered in a style that emphasizes bold lines and contrasts, typical of woodcut prints. The scene seems serene, with rippling water around the figures who are partially submerged. The texture of the water and the sky above suggests calmness and tranquility.
