En fattig kone der venter på et krus øl i en bondestue 1852

"En fattig kone der venter på et krus øl i en bondestue," a painting by Julius Exner, depicts a scene of everyday life in a Danish peasant's home. The artwork, created in 1852, features an elderly woman patiently waiting for a beer while a young child plays with a dog nearby. Exner's work often focused on capturing the lives and struggles of ordinary people in rural Denmark, and this painting exemplifies his realistic style. The details in the interior, from the worn furniture to the simple utensils, create a sense of authenticity and evoke a feeling of warmth and intimacy. The painting's title directly translates to "A poor woman waiting for a mug of beer in a peasant's home", highlighting the simple pleasures of everyday life. This work is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
