Description
A dowser-goer walks along a wall, over which a house and a willow tree become visible, swinging the divining rod with both hands, to the right. He wears a blue robe that reaches to the ankles with a red and yellow back and hood and a felt hat. - At the end of a table, an old man drinking wine and has fruits in front of him, and a man of the best age making an entry in a book. Through an arch opening you look out onto a gate, next to which a tower rises. A second dowser-goer walks to the right. - Both representations in watercolors, the backs executed with a little gold application.
