About this work

A painted street scene shows a postman in a green coat and cap pausing on a cobbled lane to read a letter, with a leather satchel slung at his hip. Half-timbered and gabled houses frame the view, with women looking out from windows and a balcony, and a stone fountain sits at the right. This work by Carl Spitzweg is held in the Wikimedia Commons collection.
