Living-Room with the Artist's Sister
Unconstrained by conventions of painting interiors Menzel appears to have come spontaneously upon the view shown in this oil sketch. The viewer's gaze
wanders unnoticed into the open room rendered in strong foreshortening and in brownish tones locally set off with highlights thereby taking in the intimate atmosphere of a calm evening.
