Ruhende Zigeuner

Maria Uhden

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a stylized scene featuring a wagon and animals under a night sky. The scene depicts a gypsy wagon or caravan with oversized wheels, set against a starry sky with a crescent moon and several stars, including a shooting star. Below, a horse seems to be grazing on the grass in the foreground. The figures in the painting are abstract, emphasizing form over realistic portrayal, with bold lines and contrasting black and white spaces.
