The artwork portrays a charming town square under a heavy rainstorm, with cobblestone streets, half-timbered houses, and a tower rising in the misty background. In the foreground, a woman with an umbrella and a child brave the rain, while a horse-drawn carriage stands near a hotel, where a figure converses with a passenger as the driver steadies the horses.

Reiss’s signature appears in the lower right corner of the painting. The piece remains in good condition for its age and is housed in an ornate, gilded period frame, which enhances its historic charm.

Fritz Reiss, also known as Friedrich Winold Reiss, was a distinguished painter, illustrator, lithographer, and graphic artist. Trained at the Düsseldorf Academy, he drew inspiration from luminaries such as Carl Müller and Heinrich Lauenstein. His works often reflect the stylistic influence of Carl Spitzweg, and this particular painting is no exception, evoking the warmth and intimacy of Biedermeier life.
