Alter sitzender Mann in einfachem Wohnraum lesend 1907

Ferdinand Balzer's 1907 watercolor painting, "Alter sitzender Mann in einfachem Wohnraum lesend," depicts a solitary elderly man seated at a table in a simple, dimly lit room. The man's posture suggests a sense of quiet contemplation as he reads, while the composition's focus on interior details evokes an atmosphere of intimacy and domesticity. This piece is a prime example of the artist's focus on everyday life and working-class subjects, capturing a moment of quiet reflection within a humble home.
