Lady on the Staircase / Caroline on the stairs
The story
Friedrich's wife Caroline climbs a dimly lit staircase in their Dresden home. A warm light falls from above with no clear source, lifting her out of the shadows. Painted in 1825, one of the most personal images Friedrich made of his domestic life.
