This work was purchased for Telfair’s collection by Gari Melchers in 1912, when Melchers and Hagen were colleagues at the Academy in Weimar. Abend in den Feldern is a study of evening light on the fields of Weimar. The soft yellows of the sky blend with the silvery green and lavenders of the fields, producing the gentle effect of dimming light and the onset of evening. Two small figures cross the fields, but they are so insignificant that the painting easily becomes an abstract composition of color harmonies.
