## Commentary

In this painting the artist presents a city scene in strong light viewed from a balcony. The seated woman is pausing for a moment in her reading to gaze ahead, lost in though. The stylistic affinity to Berthed Amorists&#39;s limpid colours and freedom in brushwork is striking. &lt;p&gt; &lt;table align=left cellpadding=5 border=1 width=320 bgcolor=&#34;\#99cccc&#34;&gt; &lt;tr valign=middle&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;/support/gif/listen.gif&#34; border=0 valign=middle&gt; Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 3 minutes\):&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;\#&#34; onClick=&#34;w=window.open \(&#39;/music1/20\_cent/sinding\_fruhlingsrauschen.html&#39;, &#39;newWin&#39;, &#39;scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350&#39;\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true&#34;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Christian Sinding: Frühlingsrauschen \(Rustle of Spring\)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
