Summary

[edit]
Artist
Richard Borrmeister (1876–1938)
Description

Kinder im Schnee, Öl auf Leinwand, 140 x 200 cm. Rechts unten signiert und datiert "R. Borrmeister 1920".

Womöglich eine Illustration des Gedichts "Die Kinder im Schnee" von Heinrich Seidel (1842-1906) oder eines ähnlichen Gedichts oder Märchens.

Die Kinder im Schnee

Ein Winterabend still und kalt. -
Drei Kinder wandern durch den Wald.

Sie gingen schon oft den Weg allein -
Heut flimmert der Mond mit irrem Schein.

Der Pfad, der sonst so kurz nach Haus, -
heut mündet er nimmer zum Wald hinaus.

Die kleinen Beinchen schreiten voran.
Da ragt empor der finstre Tann.

Sie laufen zurück und hin und her -
Sie finden im Schnee den Weg nicht mehr.

Es weinen die Kleinsten, wohl irrten sie weit.
Kalt ist die Nacht und Schlafenszeit!

Sieh dort, unter Wurzeln ein trocknes Hohl,
Da bettet das Schwesterchen beide wohl.

Trägt Moos und Laub zu ihrer Ruh
Und deckt mit dem eignen Tüchlein sie zu.

Die Nacht ist kalt, vom Mond erhellt, -
Es funkeln die Sterne am Himmelszelt.

Man hat sie gesucht mit Rufen und Schrein,
Man hat sie gefunden beim Morgenschein.

Die beiden Kleinen, sie schlafen fest,
Aneinandergeschmiegt im warmen Nest.

Den Arm gerafft voll Laub und Moos,
So fand man die andre bewegungslos.

So lag sie im Schnee - die Wangen rot,
Die hatte geküsst der eisige Tod.

Licensing

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.
 Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
