Visible from afar, the Spreading Pine Tree is on a hill near Mödling, situated above the Vienna Basin. This tree really existed and was a popular destination for day-trippers. A couple in their town clothes have sat down on the path. A beggar or pilgrim humbly approaches them; the man hands him a coin with a dismissive gesture. The beggar or pilgrim’s companion stands devoutly before the image of a saint on the pine’s trunk. Behind him, three women, two with laden pack baskets on their backs, and another man are shown resting. The figures are depicted in cliché fashion: the townspeople have eyes only for the scenery while the countryfolk, exhausted from their labors, turn their backs on the view.
