Liebermann depicts a typical scene for the artist - a mother and child leisurely strolling in a landscape - which he so well mastered. The light and carefree mood are wonderfully captured in the artist's impressionistic style. Both the arrangement of the rows of trees and the proportions of the figures to the trees are reminiscent of two paintings that Liebermann painted during his time in Laren, thus allowing the assumption that this painting was created in Laren in 1996. The subject of the tree-lined road was a particular favourite of Liebermann and features prominently throughout his work. It was ideally suited for the implementation of his style, through which he employs the rows of trees in combination with his individual impressionistic approach to successfully create an effective sense of spatial depth.
