A wonderful example of late 19th century folk genre painting by the German artist Reinhold Schmidt (1861-1927). The scene depicts a young courting couple in a rural setting: a boy in waistcoat and working trousers smoking a clay pipe, whilst the girl, dressed in elaborate traditional folk costume (Tracht), looks down demurely, holding a small daisy. The dynamic between the two figures captures a sweet, narrative moment typical of the genre. The background features a rolling pastoral landscape with winding path, village dwellings, birch trees and stream. Well presented in a painted wooden frame with orange blossom running pattern. Signed lower right. On thick card.
