Zwei Bauern mit ihrem von Ochsen gezogenen Leiterwagen, in einer Hochebene bei einem Holzstoß ruhend 

Anton Burger created this watercolor, entitled "Two Farmers Resting with their Ox-Drawn Wagon by a Woodpile on a Plateau," to capture a simple, tranquil moment. The composition invites us into a scene where the earthy tones of the foreground meet the cool blues of the distant horizon, creating a palpable sense of depth. Burger's masterful use of watercolor is evident in the washes that define the sky and landscape, lending a hazy, dreamlike quality to the setting. The structural arrangement is notable; the trees on the left mirror the oxen and wagon on the right, framing the human figures and woodpile as if in a pastoral tableau. Consider the cultural implications of representing rural life with such quiet dignity. The brushstrokes are loose yet precise, echoing the realist movement's focus on the unembellished portrayal of everyday life. The work stands as a meditation on the human relationship with nature, inviting reflection on the values embedded in the labor and landscape of rural existence.
