Hi,

Can anyone identify this painting? Either the artist's name or title would be great.

Thanks

This is by Caspar David Friedrich. It's entitled Women before a Rising Sun, or alternatively Women before a Rising Sun. Something about the quality of the sky makes it look more like a rising sun to me, but I guess Caspar wasn't too specific.

Thanks!
We thought it looked more like a setting sun and my girlfriend wants a print of it.

Thanks again!
