Ury was born in 1861 into a German Jewish family in Prussia and grew up in Berlin where he spent his childhood until he moved to Düsseldorf to study at the Kunstakademie in 1879. Before moving back to Berlin in 1887, Ury spent a considerable amount of time in Paris, Antwerp, Brussels and Stuttgart. In addition to his famous urban scenes, Ury frequently painted landscapes, which exude a certain peacefulness often shifting into a peculiar, mysterious silence. The present pastel, executed in 1894, depicts a densely-forested valley in Thuringia with farmhouses in the background. A peasant woman, who is almost absorbed by nature, is kneeling down at a stream to do her laundry. Since the 1890s, Ury frequently travelled to Thuringia where he loved to straggle around the forests with his palette and brush in hand.
