In the background, the peaks of the Carpathians and the image of a monastic enclosure complete this visual compendium. The smooth facture, with a precise and elegant drawing, specific to the artist, highlights the chromatic richness of the types and costumes, which are sharply defined in the strong daylight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePROVENANCE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eVAN HAM Kunstauktionen, Cologne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003ePrivate collection, Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artiss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50009257607506,"sku":"","price":50000.0,"currency_code":"RON","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/1526\/3570\/files\/download_1_535c3830-e618-4a62-b807-c7bb6c01de21.png?v=1735576620","url":"https:\/\/artiss.ro\/en\/products\/emil-volkers-la-drum","provider":"Artiss","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
