A Walk at Dusk (painting (visual work); Caspar David Friedrich (German, 1774 - 1840) (German Artist)...; about 1830 - 1835; J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center (Los Angeles, Los A...; 93.PA.14)

Note: A single figure, possibly intended by Friedrich as a self portrait, stands head bowed, in silent reverie before a megalithic tomb. Set in a mist-shrouded autumnal meadow, the scene is lit by the delicate light of a rising sickle moon. An archway formed by the bare wintery trees of the middleground opens on to a distant band of trees in full leaf, the outlines of their forms emerging from a dense fog.
