Ring was a Danish painter of ordinary rural life, roads, fields and villagers, painted without sentiment and with great care; he lived in Baldersbrønde on Zealand for some years and painted it often. The pollarded willow is a working tree, cut back again and again so that it grows anew, a fair emblem for a library that keeps renewing old things.
