Schack regarded Schleich as the leading landscape painter of his generation in Munich and acquired three pictures by him. They included this rare Alpine view, which he described as follows: ‘It is an alp in the rear Ziller valley, in which a herd is grazing on luxuriant grass apparently just drenched in rain and in which the view beyond drifting mist to snowy peaks glowing in the sun creates a highly picturesque effect.’
