Arnold Comes of Age (1930)

The painting depicts a young man standing in the foreground with a serious expression, looking directly at the viewer. His face is slender, with dark, neatly combed hair and prominent ears. The youth wears a dark sweater over a collared shirt. Behind him, the background features a vibrant landscape with a river flowing through the center. On the left, golden autumnal trees line the riverbank against a blue sky, giving way to a rounded hill. The right side shows trees with pink foliage, under which two small nude figures, possibly children or nymphs, are seen by the riverside and in the water. The trees have elongated, somewhat bare branches, contributing to a serene yet somewhat eerie atmosphere.
