This oil painting shows the River Aare in the foreground and Schadau Castle in Thun and the Scherzligen Church behind it. The veduta was painted by the Swiss veduta painter Marie Egg (* 1873, † 1959). On the right is the Niesen and in the background the snow-covered Blümlisalp massif. Marie Egg was a member of the Lauenen circle of veduta painters, referring here to the Lauenen neighbourhood in the Swiss town of Thun.
