How does this artwork elucidate its Origin?
According to Hans Dietrich Lang, a steep gorge with a tunnel mouth hole in the Peißenberg coal district, near Peißenberg, served as the set. Spitzweg often stayed in Peißenberg; it was during a spa stay in 1833, that he made the decision to become a painter. According to Erika Günter, this rock motif is the entrance to a shaft of the Hohe Peißenberg.
