# Woman at a Window [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [FRIEDRICH, Caspar David]() - Date: 1801-1850 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 44 x 37 cm ## Commentary The artist's creative intercession is manifest in Friedrich's pictures in figures who stand with their backs to the viewer, looking into the subject. They are emblems of the artist himself, whose interpretation makes the world comprehensible to his audience. In his 1822 picture of his later studio in Dresden, the woman who looks through an open shutter at a glimpse of sunlit poplars and masts on the river is his wife Caroline. ## Related artworks - [Adolf Gottlieb Friedrich, Reading]() - [Boats in the Harbour at Evening]() - [Bohemian Landscape with Mount Milleschauer]() - [Chalk Cliffs at Rügen]() - [Chalk Cliffs on Rügen]() - [Cross in the Mountains]() - [Cross in the Mountains \(Tetschen Altar\)]() - [Cross in the Mountains \(Tetschen Altar\)]() - [Dolmen in the Snow]() - [Drifting Clouds]() - [Easter Morning]() - [Evening Landscape with Two Men]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
