Train Departure Farewell Scene – Color Lithograph by S. Güntzel, c. 1890
This captivating color lithograph, titled “Der Abschied” (The Farewell), was created by the German artist S. Güntzel around 1890. It presents a tender moment of parting, capturing the bittersweet emotions of a young couple’s farewell at a train station. The scene is set against the backdrop of a handsome green railway carriage, with soft diffused light lending an air of romance and nostalgia.
The composition is skillfully arranged: the young woman, dressed in an elegant pale grey traveling coat with a stylish hat adorned with flowers, leans out of the train window, offering a final gesture of affection. The man, dressed smartly in a light-colored suit and straw hat in hand, looks up at her with a mixture of longing and devotion. A loyal dog at his side adds a charming domestic touch, emphasizing the personal nature of the moment.
The soft, painterly quality of the lithograph captures every detail, from the sheen of the carriage windows to the delicate shading of the figures’ expressions. This attention to detail, combined with the emotional subject matter, makes the piece both visually engaging and deeply moving.
The artist, S. Güntzel, was known for his genre scenes that depicted the social customs and personal stories of late 19th-century life. “Der Abschied” stands out as a poignant snapshot of a bygone era, evoking the timeless themes of love, travel, and separation. For collectors of antique prints, lovers of train travel, or enthusiasts of romantic art, this lithograph is a beautiful and evocative piece.
