Benczur, a master of great interiors, leads us out of the world of furniture and museum pieces: we find ourselves in nature. This picture proves that its master shared the love of nature of the Barbizon painters. This charming idyll in the forest always remains to be a surprise for the spectator whenever he has a look at it.
The picture, which gives the impression of welfare, inspires thoughts of melancholy and nostalgy. How sad that the mow has become yours for one single day, the atmosphere of your reading will vanish as if you had not read it. One is unfaithful to silence and nature, this is what prepares the loss of an idyll ... One must not think that this picture is strange from Benczur's art. Munkácsy's "Dusty Road" came from his hear and proved that Hungarian artists were capable of keeping up with European art, yet orderers demanded a different presentation.
