About this work

A man in a long brown coat and tricorn hat stands with his back to the viewer on a dirt path, holding an open book behind him. A wooden signpost reading "Verbotener Weg" marks the way, while a couple rests in a golden wheat field to the left and a village with a white church tower lies in the distance beneath rolling hills. This print of Carl Spitzweg's "Der verbotene Weg" is held by Wikimedia Commons.
