A philosopher has some mighty heavy thoughts to ruminate about, needing a solitary and timeless environment to uncover some truth.
Looks like this theorist has found such a place, lucky fool.
Karl Spitzweg — The Philosopher — 1917
update: the artist died some years before this image was printed in 1917

This is a beauty. Peaceful image painted during a not-so-peaceful time.
Hi Tom, actually the artist died in 1885. I was derelict in not pointing out that 1917 was the date of the printing of this image. Never-the-less, as you say, peaceful and a beauty!
Oh well. Probably 1885 stunk for peace as well. Don't they all
