A stunning oil painting depicting a figure of a woman in the lush green grass picking flowers. The serene, sunlit landscape is filled with wildflowers, mostly red and pink hues, set against a backdrop of tall trees with dense green foliage. The way the light hits the trees and the barn in the distance creates a beautiful luminosity. A cheery blossom tree is seen as well, depicted with delicate pink blossoms and we can almost feel them drifting through the breeze. A story is being told through this large canvas, the scene is set with a peaceful, pastoral atmosphere, and the skillful use of light and shadow has created a stunning depth anchoring this sense of tranquility. Tull was known for painting everyday life, figurative scenes depicting life in Budapest, London and Vienna. He was profoundly active, picking up his subjects from villages, the city, parks, lakesides, and much more. This piece is a pertinent example of countryside life in Budapest, with much detail. This painting is signed and dated by the artist lower right and it is painted oil on stretched canvas.
