Description

[edit | edit source]

The painter took inspiration from his honeymoon with Bella Rosenfeld, in 1915. It depicts the poet of the title lying in the ground, like if he was resting. He wears a blue shirt and black pants. In the background appears a wood country house, with a horse and a pig in a field. Two trees grow there and in the background a forest is visible.[2]
