"My dream became our dream.

Fritz von Uhde was a single father of three daughters (Anna, Amalie, Sophie). He often portrayed his children in his paintings in order to spend as much time as possible with them. His wife died giving birth to their third daughter.

My daughter is also called Anna (2 years old) and I try to spend as much time as possible with her and to share my dreams with her, just like Fritz von Uhde did in the nineteenth century."

About the workThe Saxon painter Fritz von Uhde, who lived near Munich for a long time, was praised for depicting children in a particularly naturalistic way. Here, as if in a snapshot, he portrays his three daughters Sophie, Anna and Amalie in a secluded area of their garden. In the dappled light, the youngest daughter, Sophie, gazes joyfully towards us. Her sisters, in keeping with the role of women at the time, are absorbed in needlework. As a single father, von Uhde painted numerous pictures of children. In these motifs he came to achieve a light, impressionistic style of painting.
