Der Urlauber 1880

Franz von Defregger's 1880 painting *Der Urlauber* depicts a scene of everyday life in a rural Austrian setting. The painting shows a group of people gathered in a dimly lit room, likely a farmhouse kitchen. The figures are all dressed in traditional Tyrolean attire, and their faces are rendered with a realistic detail that captures the nuances of their individual personalities. Defregger was known for his paintings of Tyrolean life, and this work is a quintessential example of his genre. The painting's focus on ordinary people engaged in everyday activities speaks to the artist's commitment to realism and his interest in capturing the beauty of simple moments.
