Art Postcard: Die Abfahrt (The Departure) Travelers by the Moon in a Boat

This wonderfully moving painting by German artist Quint Buchholz shows us an unlikely trio afloat, a king, a child and a lion.

We suspect the time to be dusk or dawn as their craft is lit by a small lantern. They have chosen to bring along a window as well. The seabirds may not even have noticed them.

Oh, the stories you might create from this lovely image.
