Also dated 1909 and in the Bavarian State Painting Collections, this canvas accompanies the Landscape with a view of Landau from the same year in Slevogt's output. The year 1909 was marked by continued critical recognition and sustained productivity, with Slevogt balancing portrait commissions, landscape excursions, and decorative projects. His connection to the Palatinate landscape deepened during this period as he spent extended time at his estate there, and canvases from 1909 often reflect direct plein-air observation sharpened by long familiarity with specific sites and light conditions. The Bavarian collections preserve this work alongside dozens of others spanning his career, making Munich one of the essential destinations for understanding his full achievement.

A 1909 Slevogt canvas typically demonstrates confident plein-air technique: rapid color decisions made in front of the motif, with minimal reworking in the studio. Skies are often handled with horizontal sweeps while vegetation below receives shorter, more varied strokes to suggest leaf movement and light penetration.
