Kinder bei der Gartenarbeit c. 1872 - 1874

Otto Scholderer's "Kinder bei der Gartenarbeit" (Children at Work in the Garden) is a pencil drawing depicting a boy and a girl tending to a garden. The boy is pushing a wheelbarrow full of potted plants, while the girl waters the garden with a watering can. This drawing, dating from c. 1872–74, captures a moment of domestic life, showcasing the innocence and simple pleasures of childhood through the act of gardening. The scene is rendered in Scholderer's detailed and meticulous style, characteristic of his drawings and etchings. The work is currently housed in the Städel Museum.
