“Mirage” oil on canvas by EMH
The state of the boy’s mind is indicated by the background, with horses throwing no shadows as they run past and through a rather barren, sweeping landscape.
His attention is riveted towards something off-canvas.
Man standing among the ruins... "Gott giebt uns die Nusse, aber er bricht sie nicht auf." --Goethe
