Ferdinand Fagerlin's "Young Couple" (1883) is a depiction of a young woman knitting by the fireplace while her husband returns home from a day of fishing. This intimate scene, characterized by its realistic detail and warm tones, captures a moment of domesticity in the lives of a working-class couple. The composition, with the woman seated in the foreground and the man standing in the background, creates a sense of depth and narrative tension. The use of light and shadow further emphasizes the contrasts between the interior and exterior spaces, creating a sense of atmosphere. This genre painting showcases Fagerlin's talent for capturing the everyday lives of ordinary people.
