More about this artwork
On display is a masterful example of Impressionism, brought to life through the skilled brush strokes of Marie Egner. Titled "In der Laube" (In the Arbor), this piece transports the viewer into a serene, shaded nook of a garden. Painted in 1901, Egner's work captures the interplay of light and shadow with a lush backdrop of greenery, creating a tranquil retreat from the summer heat.Central to the composition is an abundant arrangement of flowers, placed in a rustic wooden bowl. Egner’s deft handling of color highlights the creamy whites and subtle yellows of the blossoms, contrasted against the varied greens of their leafy surroundings. The dappling sunlight filters through the dense foliage above, casting speckled shadows and illuminating parts of the flowers, enhancing their delicate textures."In der Laube" is not merely a visual retreat but also a demonstration of Egner’s ability to evoke the warmth and vibrancy of a summer day spent in the solace of nature.

Marie Egner was an Austrian painter.
Egner was born on 25 August 1850 in Bad Radkersburg, Austria. She took her first drawing lessons in Graz with Hermann von Königsbrunn, then went to Düsseldorf from 1872 to 1875, where she studied with Carl Jungheim. In 1882, she went to Vienna to live with her mother, but spent her summers at the art colony in Plankenberg Castle, near Neulengbach, where she took lessons with Emil Jakob Schindler until 1887. A study trip to England followed from 1887 to 1889. Shortly after, her first exhibition was held at the Vienna Künstlerhaus. She also exhibited in Germany and England.
