Karl Feiertag — Children Embracing by a Windmill · Art Postcard

Painted with warmer, softer brushwork than Karl Feiertag's watercolor postcards, this oil genre scene shows two children embracing joyfully in a spring meadow scattered with wildflowers, a Dutch windmill and a quiet river resting in the distance. The boy wears a blue shirt and fur cap, the girl a pink apron, red kerchief, and wooden clogs — reunion or simple friendship, left open to the viewer. It works well as a small display piece, framed for its painterly quality alone, or sent as an affectionate greeting between old friends. At 10×15 cm on 350 g/m² card stock, it stands apart within the Karl Feiertag collection as one of only two painted, rather than watercolor, scenes.
