_Tages Arbeit, Abends Gäste..._ 

Bertha Bagge's _Tages Arbeit, Abends Gäste..._ is a charming portrayal of daily life in a German village. The artwork depicts the village's inhabitants engaged in various activities, showcasing the rhythms of work and leisure. The image is divided into two sections: the top depicts a day filled with labor, while the bottom depicts a festive evening filled with music and dancing. The German inscription within the artwork provides the narrative structure: “Day’s Work, Evening Guests…,” suggesting that the artwork’s central message is the celebration of communal life. The use of watercolor creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, making the scene come alive with vibrant detail.
