Hyrdedrengen læser ABC 1904

"Hyrdedrengen læser ABC" (The Shepherd Boy Reads the ABC) is a 1904 painting by Danish artist Valdemar Irminger (1850-1938). The painting depicts a young boy sitting in a field, surrounded by sheep, as he reads a book. The scene is rendered in a realistic style, with careful attention to detail in the boy's clothing, the sheep's wool, and the surrounding landscape. This work is characteristic of Irminger's style, which often focused on depictions of everyday life in rural Denmark. This painting is held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
