Painting of the wall panel
Description
The multi-piece paneling is part of the original furnishings of the Haus zum Kirchgarten. The oak panel is painted with fine garlands of roses, forget-me-nots and lilies of the valley. The shadows cast by the delicate flowers correspond to the incidence of daylight, which enhances the illusionistic effect. On the right wing of the door to the adjacent terrace is the signature "M. Klotz" and the date "1780". The small door to the previous room was added later, the paintings on its door panels and the frame are later additions.
