The painting "Die Begrüssung" by Claus Meyer, painted in 1880, is an oil painting on board measuring 13 x 17 cm (21 x 25 cm framed). It shows a rural scene with two figures greeting each other, a man with a pitchfork and a woman, in front of a house with a red roof. The style is impressionistic, with loose brushstrokes and a warm, natural color palette. This simple yet intimate scene reflects Meyer's love for everyday rural life.
