Summary

Siegfried, in his armor, rides his horse to the edge of a stream. In the water are three nude women. Between them and Siegfried is a large tree on the bank; the tree's branches spreads to the sky, covering the top of the painting.

Albert Pinkham Ryder (1847–1917) was an American painter best known for his poetic and moody allegorical works and seascapes, as well as his eccentric personality. While his art shared an emphasis on subtle variations of color with tonalist works of the time, it was unique for accentuating form in a way that some art historians regard as modernist.
