The calmness exuded by this scene evokes feelings of tranquility and awe. Not limited to people or nature alone, Braun also ventured into animal photography with works like "Pheasant and Grouse. " Through careful composition and lighting techniques around 1865, he captures these creatures' vibrant colors while preserving their natural essence. Furthermore, Braun showcases his versatility as an artist with his floral study called "[Flower Study: Rose of Sharon].
