Remigius Adrianus Haanen, trained at the Utrecht Academy and later active in Vienna, completed *Eichenwald* toward the end of his career. The piece entered the collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, where it remains on display, reflecting the museum’s commitment to preserving works that illustrate the cross‑regional exchange of artistic ideas in the 1800s.
