Gabriele Muntor’s portrait at first glance can be misleading with the beautiful sight and settings, but when being closely observed you obtain much more. In the portrait, there is a beautiful sky cut in half by darkness and light. A male and female lie in the graceful pasture abundant with flowers both wearing hats to avoid the sunlight. The man and woman are facing away from each other. This portrait portrays a negative environment with the resentment between the two. The sky looks as if the sun is going down and the darkness is giving off a mournful feeling.
