These paintings nevertheless feel contemporary due to the situations depicted and the effect of the artist's personality. Kersting's most lasting works are his figures in interiors that borrow from seventeenth-century Dutch genre painting. Goethe was impressed and recommended that the Grand Duke Charles Augustus purchase his work The Embroiderer. In 1813 Seidler helped Kersting send a number of his works to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. He was also a friend of the painter Louise Seidler, who described him as "an altogether splendid and comical fellow" and often served as his model. He may have painted the staffage in some of Friedrich's early work-such as Morning in the Riesengebirge (1810–11), a result of their walking tour. During his many hikes with Friedrich, the two painted numerous sketches and observations from nature. The two friends went on a walking tour of the Riesengebirge in 1810. Kersting was a friend of Caspar David Friedrich, the leading German Romantic painter his style was influenced by Friedrich, and he shared that artist's romantic attitude, although in a more subjective manner.

The science on AI in the book feels plausible, and McEwan seems to have done extensive research into the philosophical side too (.) All this would be fine if the rest of it felt more credible. Even for someone of McEwan’s fluency, that’s a lot to pack in. And a soupçon of juvenile gender-fluidity too.
