The young girl gathers water from a trickle of waterfall with a clay pitcher. In the background, tree branches appear against a pale sky. German, circa 1860. The frame is a majestic cedar wood 8-inch wide Classic Gold Frame, which is modern and not from the era of the painting.Artist: Listed artist Johann Georg Meyer von Bremen (1813-1886)  was born in Bremen on October 28, 1813.Von Bremen was a Genre painter.
